What are the different integer types in C++?

What are the different integer types in C++?

In C++, the main integer types are int, short, long, and long long. Each has different size and range.

Can you give me examples of when to use each type?

Sure! Use 'int' for general purposes, 'short' for memory efficiency, 'long' for larger values, and 'long long' for very large integers.

What are the size limits for these types?

Typically, 'int' is 4 bytes, 'short' is 2 bytes, 'long' is at least 4 bytes, and 'long long' is at least 8 bytes, but it can vary.

Are there any specific scenarios where I should avoid using certain types?

Yes, avoid using 'short' if you need to store large values, as it may lead to overflow. Always choose the type based on the expected range.
