What is short integer?

In computer programming, a variable can be (among other things) an integer or a long integer. An integer can be any whole number in the range of -32,768 to 32,767 A long integer can be any whole number in the range of -2,147,483,648 tp 2,147,483,647 I have never heard of an "integer" variable being called a "short integer" but it makes a kind of sense. Note: The size of integer types is platform-dependent, but usually: short: 16 bits int: 32 bits (16 in archaic systems: MSDOS OS Windows16) long: 32 bits (64 in unix64) long long: 64 bits
