Antonime
signed (Indicates that the required signature is present on the document.)

without a name or signature
Describes something like a letter or article with no name, so you do not know who made or sent it.

Learners sometimes think "unsigned" here means the same as "secret" or "private". It only means the name or signature is missing; the content itself may still be public.

number type without sign bit
In programming or math, describes a number type that can be zero or positive, but never negative.
Tipar de utilizare:
[an] unsigned [int/integer/value/type]
Greșeală frecventă:
Learners often think "unsigned" simply means "no plus or minus sign is written". In programming, it means the data type itself cannot store negative values because it does not use a bit to mark sign.
Sinonime
non-negative (General mathematical term; does not specifically imply a missing sign bit, but the range of values is similar.)
Antonime
signed (In computing, indicates a numeric type that can represent both negative and positive values using a sign bit.)
