You do. They just wrote into the standard that there's a header file that 
comes with the compiler that says "Hey, when he says uint64_t, he means long 
long unsigned int".

You can't declare a 64-bit integer. You can use someone else's declaration 
that the standard says gives you a 64-bit integer in terms of 
compiler-dependent long long unsigned int sorts of things.
