  2. Changing to short or char would presumably change the instruction to movw or movb across the board. – Mike F. Oct 16, 2008 at 18:11. 3. That's no short literal. When you use that cast and compile with GCC and the option -Wconversion you still get a compiler diagnostic for the statement short foo = 1; foo += (short)2;.

  3. Sep 5, 2012 · What's actually guaranteed is that the ranges of short int are at least -32767 .. +32767, and the range of short int is a subset of the range of int. It follows from this that short int and int are both at least 16 bits. Due to padding bits, it's theoretically possible to have sizeof (short int) > sizeof (int), but it's very unlikely.

  4. const short s2 = 123; Or you can make a constant expression that contains a cast to short: var s3 = (short)123; Or you can make a local or field constant and use its name for the initializer of the implicitly typed local: var s4 = s2; But there is no way around it; short has to appear somewhere, either in a field or local declaration or in the ...

  5. Oct 3, 2015 · All store integers, but consume different memory and have different ranges. For eg: short int consumes 16bits, long int consumes 32bits and long long int consumes 64bits. The maximum value of short int is 32767. So of you need to store big values you need to use long int. Long long int is the biggest and it can store upto 20!

  6. Mar 19, 2013 · 30. short is short for short int. They are synonymous. short, short int, signed short, and signed short int are all the same data-type. Exactly how many bits are in a short depends on the compiler and the system, but it is required to have at least 16 bits: Any compiler conforming to the Standard must also respect the following limits with ...

  7. The Java Language Specification does not provide the same syntactic sugar for byte or short types. Instead, you may declare it as such using explicit casting: byte foo = (byte)0; short bar = (short)0; In your setLongValue(100L) method call, you don't have to necessarily include the L suffix because in this case the int literal is automatically ...

  8. Feb 19, 2012 · In the above examples the boolean operators && and || are said to be short-circuit, given the fact that the second operand might not be evaluated if the value of the first operand is enough to determine the value of the whole expression. For comparison, the & and | operands are the equivalent non-short-circuit boolean operators.

  9. Jan 6, 2012 · 298. The && and || operators "short-circuit", meaning they don't evaluate the right-hand side if it isn't necessary. The & and | operators, when used as logical operators, always evaluate both sides. There is only one case of short-circuiting for each operator, and they are: false && ... - it is not necessary to know what the right-hand side is ...

  10. 2. var myValue = unchecked((short)0x7F00); The literal is int and thus must be cast to target type. If a value overflow occurs unchecked is required. edited Nov 18, 2022 at 18:43. Greg Burghardt. 18.6k 10 53 96. answered Jan 26, 2022 at 5:51.

  11. Nov 27, 2015 · The #define directive has two common uses. The first one, is control how the compiler will act. To do this, we also need #undef, #ifdef and #ifndef. (and #endif too...) You can make "compiler logic" this way. A common use is to activate or not a debug portion of the code, like that: #ifdef DEBUG. //debug code here.
