What does the C++ standard state the size of int, long type to be?

Question

I\'m looking for detailed information regarding the size of basic C++ types. I know that it depends on the architecture (16 bits, 32 bits, 64 bits) and the compiler.

Answer 1

There are four types of integers based on size:

• short integer: 2 byte
• long integer: 4 byte
• long long integer: 8 byte
• integer: depends upon the compiler (16 bit, 32 bit, or 64 bit)
