short
The short type modifier specifies that an int variable uses less-than or the same amount of storage as an int type. It is used as follows:
<[>{signed|unsigned}<]> short <[>int<]> name <[>= value<]>;
Where
| name | is the name of the variable. |
| value | is the value to assign to the variable. |
Note
- The C251 Compiler allocates the same amount of storage for short types (2 bytes) as it does for int types (2 bytes).
Refer to 2-Byte Scalars for information regarding the format of short types.
