sizeof long int

Remember:

#include <limits.h>

AND

#include <stdio.h>

for long int

long, signed integer; signed means positive to negative i.e.; 100 to -100, not just positive i.e.; 0 – 200.

from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printf

printf("%ld to %ld\n", LONG_MAX, LONG_MIN);


/* sizeof.c on x86_64 */

#include <limits.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
        printf("short int\t size: %d bytes\t", sizeof(short int));
        printf("%d to %d\n", SHRT_MAX, SHRT_MIN);

        printf("long int\t size: %d bytes\t", sizeof(long int));
        printf("%ld to %ld\n", LONG_MAX, LONG_MIN);

        printf("char\t size: %d byte\n", sizeof(char));
        printf("float\t size: %d bytes\n", sizeof(float));
        printf("double\t size: %d bytes\n", sizeof(double));

        return 0;
