    Value range

    char

    1 byte

    -128 to 127 or 0 to 255

    unsigned char

    1 byte

    0 to 255

    signed char

    1 byte

    -128 to 127

    int

    2 or 4 bytes

    -32,768 to 32,767 or -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647

    unsigned int

    2 or 4 bytes

    0 to 65,535 or 0 to 4,294,967,295

    short

    2 bytes

    -32,768 to 32,767

    unsigned short

    2 bytes

    0 to 65,535

    long

    4 bytes

    -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
