Re: What is the size of an integer in Turbo C and Visual C++ and in linux ??

OK.. thanks.. my meaning of asking why was like i was thinking that being 32
bit integer in VC++, still we get 32767 as the max value it can hold.. but
you clarified my doubt... Thanks..

So, in VC++ 6.0 or onwards (mean in 32 bit os..) we can store values till
4gb limit... right ?? so, any kind of phone number would need integer only..
no need to take long..

And another question is, if the OS is 64 bit then will the integer hold 8
byte value ???
