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

No, 'int' is short for 'integer' (or 'integral' etc).
Data-type (short for integer).
