Basic Types

Examples:

char c;

int x = 0;

The basic types are:

char - character (one byte);

short - short integer (word, 16 bit);

int - integer (word, 16 bit);

unsigned - non-negative integer (of the same size as integer);

long - long integer (word or double word);

float - floating-point number (single precision);

void - no value (used to neutralize the value

returned by function)

The Short type is equivalent to the Int type and was introduced for generality.
