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

Not quite what I expected, sine the leftmost bit in 'int' is 1 and
would be the negative flag.
No - the full 32-bit representation of 0xAB78 is:
0000 0000 0000 0000 1010 1011 0111 1000
The leftmost bit is zero.
Note size of int and long int are the same both are 4 bytes long
Is this to be expected?
I think so. I've not yet struck a case on Windows where either int or long
are not 4 bytes. (Haven't tried Cygwin64.)
Certainly, on some other systems, int is 4 bytes and long is 8 bytes.
The standards permit both configurations.
Cheers,
Rob
