int C Keyword int Data type An int is the most commonly used numeric data type, and is norm- ally used to encode integers. With COHERENT, sizeof int equals 2, that is, two chars (15 bits plus a sign bit); therefore, an int can contain values from -32768 to +32767. An int normally is sign extended when cast to a larger data type; an unsigned int, however, will be zero extended. ***** See Also ***** C keywords, data formats, data types, long COHERENT Lexicon Page 1
