Variables and Types of Variable
C has the following simple data types:
Type Size(bits) Range
Lower Upper
char or signed char 8 -128 127
unsigned char 8 0 255
int or signed int 16 -32768 32767
unsigned int 16 0 65535
short int or 8 -128 127
signed short int
unsigned short int 8 0 255
long int or 32 -2147483648 2147483647
signed long int
unsigned long int 32 0 4294967295
float 32 -3.4E38 3.4E38
double 64 -1.7E308 1.7E308
long double 80 -3.4E4932 1.1E4932
NOTE: There is NO Boolean type in C -- you should use char, int or (better) unsigned char.
Unsigned can be used with all char and int types.
To declare a variable in C, do:
var_type list variables;
e.g. int i,j,k;
float x,y,z;
char ch;
