On a 32 bit XP SP 3 platform
wrote a small profram to check some parameters;
Received the following Re: Signed abd unsigned iintegers
[quote]
int x = 0xAB78 in decimal format is : 43896
and
unsigned int y = 0xAB78 in decimal format is : 43896
The size of int is 4 bytes
[/quote]
Not quite what I expected, sine the leftmost bit in 'int' is 1 and
would be the negative flag.
So wrote another for byte sizes and got the following -
[quote]
The size of short int is 2 bytes
The size of int is 4 bytes
The size of long int is 4 bytes
The size of double is 8 bytes
The size of long double is 12 bytes
[/quote]
Note size of int and long int are the same both are 4 bytes long
Is this to be expected?
Thanks!
