ANSI 3.1.2.5 The representations and sets of values of the various types of integers
Integers contain 32 bits (four bytes). Signed integers are represented in two’s-complement form. The most-significant bit holds the sign: 1 for negative, 0 for positive and zero. The values are listed below:
| Type | Minimum and Maximum |
| unsigned short | 0 to 65535 |
| signed short | –32768 to 32767 |
| unsigned long | 0 to 4294967295 |
| signed long | –2147483648 to 2147483647 |
