	Integer (computer science) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The value of a datum with an integral type is the mathematical integer that it corresponds to.
		Integral types may be unsigned (capable of representing only non-negative integers) or signed (capable of representing negative integers as well).
		The width or precision of an integral type is the number of bits in its representation.

		Type int is an integral type that is larger than or equal to the size of type short int, and shorter than or equal to the size of type long.

		The integral part (often ignored) is the number of whole days that have passed since December 30, 1899.
		Converting between integer and float types is straightforward (integers are promoted to floats with zero fractional part; floats are truncated to integers - but note that this will result in an error if the float value exceeds the integer range).

	Integral data type - Wikipedia
		The integral data types (so called because they are most frequently used to represent integers) of computing generally consist of some number of bits (usually a power of two) treated as a unit of storage or manipulation.
		Additional data types, such as bit-fields and extended-precision integers, found in high level programming languages are not discussed here.
		A byte, usually called an octet in a networking context, is used to specify the size or amount of computer memory or storage, regardless of the type of data represented.

		This type is represented by one byte usually and can hold any character belonging to the particular character set for the given compiler.
		The type float is represented by 4 bytes, a double by 8 and a long double by 10 or 12 bytes.
		The number of bytes used to represent the fundamental types is dependent on the C++ compiler used.

	Data Types and Data Typing
		In Java, a string of characters is NOT considered a primitive data type but a complex data type implemented as a Java class.
		Data types can be extended to create new data types which inherit from existing data types.
		BLOB (Binary Large OBject) and CLOBs (Character Large OBject) data types (a collection of data stored as a single entity in a database) are typically held at the server until specifically requested after a proxy is processed.

		The type of a data object in C determines the range and kind of values an object can represent, the size of machine storage reserved for an object, and the operations allowed on an object.
		Table 3-1 lists the basic data types: integral types (objects representing integers within a specific range), floating-point types (objects representing numbers with a significand part---a whole number plus a fractional number---and an optional exponential part), and character types (objects representing a printable character).
		With such a wide variety of types, operations in a program often need to be performed on objects of different types, and parameters of one type often need to be passed to functions expecting different parameter types.

	Complex Data Types
		When a complex value is demoted to a real type, the value of its imaginary part is discarded, and its real part is demoted according to the demotion rules for the corresponding floating type.
		A complex type is not valid as an operand for any operator that requires an integral data type.
		A complex type is not valid as an operand for any of the relational operators, but it is valid for the equality and inequality operators.

		Programmer-defined types are types derived by the programmer using existing types (pre-defined or otherwise).
		Discrete types (also refered to as linear or ordinal tpes) are types for which each value (except its minimum and maximum) has a predecessor and a successor value.
		Basic types (also refered to as a simple types or type primitives) are the standard scalar predefined types that one would expect to find ready for imediate use in any imperative programming language.

	A few notes concerning C++ integral data types with reference to integer type
		It is, as its name suggests, a type able to represent integers, or, better, a finite subset of whole numbers.
		With the int type on two bytes, and two's complement representation, the lowest and the highest int numbers that can be represented are -32768 and +32767.
		Even if you have taken care that your variables fit into the type you have choosen for them, their sum or subraction could generate a result out of bounds allowed for that type, and you cannot recognize it at run-time (unless you try managing overflow, carry and so on).

	Data Types
		A variable's data type determines the values that the variable can contain and the operations that can be performed on it.
		A variable of primitive type contains a single value of the appropriate size and format for its type: a number, a character, or a boolean value.
		The value of a reference type variable, in contrast to that of a primitive type, is a reference to (an address of) the value or set of values represented by the variable (see the following figure).

		We recommend that you do not code your applications with the native C/C++ data types which change size on a 64-bit operating system, but rather use type definitions or macros that explicitly call out the size and type of data contained in a variable, and then enforce this convention with strict coding standards.
		To minimize data structure bloat, make sure data structure elements are ordered from largest to smallest in data structures, and use 32-bit integers and 32-bit offsets or specially-handled 32-bit pointers wherever possible.
		A 64-byte or greater data structures and arrays should be aligned so that their base address is a multiple of 64.

		This program takes two C data types and shows the "usual conversions" that would be applied to them and shows the ultimate data types that are operated upon.
		Every binary operation performs "the usual conversions" until both operands have the same type - this is a kind of type promotion.
		Sometimes the conversions are obvious, sometimes they are not, and many of them depends on the sizes of the integral data types and whether this is an ANSI/ISO compiler or not.

	Re: size and nomenclature of integral types
		The character, short, and int types all contain 16 bits and their sizeof is 1.
		All of the integer types, from char through long, are 32 bits, and all are exactly one byte.
		You can choose required types that are either the smallest or fastest to hold at least 8, 16, 32, and 64 bits, and an implementation is free to provide other widths if it supports them.

	Porting to a 64-bit Platform, Part 2: Preparing for the Port
		A complicating factor is that calls to a 64-bit operating system by a native 64-bit application may take or return data of a different size from the same call on the 32-bit version of operating system.
		If you wish to support your application on 64-bit Windows and 64-bit Linux, you will have to account for their different data models (namely the different sizes of long) via some conditional logic or the use of polymorphic types which change size based on whether you are on a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system.
		Somehow data sets to stress the large memory operation of your application will need to be generated.
