Re: need an unsigned int in java, so...

what's the workaround?

I've got some legacy C code that I need to convert to java, and some of it
depends on unsigned ints.

The code is doing some kind of stupid crc and xor to encrypt the password
entered by a user.

When I convert it to java, and run it, sometimes the summation variables go
negative, changing some of the values in my encrypted string.

Any pointers, ideas, or URLs as to what to do to get around this?

p.s.  I've had no luck with google...



Use a long.
