Not sure if this is hardware, software or compiler dependent
$ uname -a CYGWIN_NT-5.1 machinename 1.7.28(0.271/5/3) 2014-02-09 21:06 i686 Cygwin 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?
