Basic data types ( char, int, float..etc) and qualifiers ( short, long..etc)

[Humble]

As you know the basic data types in C are :

char
int
float
double

Obviously there are qualifiers which can be put together with above data types: The examples are

signed
unsigned
short
long

Unsigned and signed are qualifiers which can be with char or any integer.

How-ever short and long applies to int ..

The sizes allocated for these data types along with the type qualifiers are compiler and machine dependent. how-ever :

short and int should be atleast 16 bits: or 2 bytes
long are atleast 32 bits or 4 bytes

and also

short <= int <= long
