# Read S32 ### Signature ```csharp s32 readS32(u64 address) ``` ### Description Reads a 32-bit signed integer from a given memory address and returns it. ### Arguments #### Address The memory address where the integer will be read from. ### Alternative Syntax The syntax `local value = memory.s32[address]` can be used as a alternative. ### Unsafe Version An unsafe version is also available that skips safety checks in favor of improved performance. This should only be used when memory validity is guaranteed. Unsafe functions are marked with a `u` suffix, such as `readS32u`, or can be used with the alternative syntax: `local value = memory.s32u[address]`. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
