Inconveniences of Unsigned Types in .NET Languages like C++ come with convenient support for unsigned integer types where non-negative values make sense. std::size_t is the unsigned integer type of the sizeof and alignof operators. std::size_t is also used when indexing C++ containers. In contrast, .NET tends to use signed integer types even where unsigned ones would be more intuitive, e.g., List<T>.Count returns an Int32 Indexing into a List<T> takes in an Int32 index ....
