Signed integer types
data Int

A fixed-precision integer type with at least the range `[-2^29 .. 2^29-1]`. The exact range for a given implementation can be determined by using `minBound` and `maxBound` from the `Bounded` class.

Notes

- All arithmetic is performed modulo 2^n, where `n` is the number of bits in the type.
- For coercing between any two integer types, use `fromIntegral`, which is specialized for all the common cases so should be fast enough. Coercing word types (see Data.Word) to and from integer types preserves representation, not sign.
- The rules that hold for `Enum` instances over a bounded type such as `Int` (see the section of the Haskell report dealing with arithmetic sequences) also hold for the `Enum` instances over the various `Int` types defined here.
- Right and left shifts by amounts greater than or equal to the width of the type result in either zero or -1, depending on the sign of the value being shifted. This is contrary to the behaviour in C, which is undefined; a common interpretation is to truncate the shift count to the width of the type, for example `1 << 32 == 1` in some C implementations.
