diff between byte, long, unsigned etc

[asdf]

sorry if this sounds noob but i just usually search in long but wats the diff between unsigned long, long short, unsigned short, 64 byte, byte, and etc?

This following examples are based on x86 architecture. Data-types on x64 have different lengths.
A byte is 8 bits. SHORT is another way to say WORD, which is 2 bytes. LONG is just a fancy way of saying DWORD, which is 4 bytes. A signed data-type is a data-type that is possible to have negative numbers. Unsigned means you cannot have negative numbers.

If you do not know what they are, go to Tools/Options and check Data-Type Sizes. You may also check the others as you please.

umm yeah. it worked for mhs 5.06 but for mhs5.7 it says Invalid UDD Path.

Then you should probably supply a valid UDD path in the Disassembler tab. Or leave it blank.
