  2. sizeof - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sizeof

    For example, even though most implementations of C and C++ on 32-bit systems define type int to be four octets, this size may change when code is ported to a different system, breaking the code. The exception to this is the data type char, which always has the size 1 in any standards-compliant C implementation

  3. C data types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_data_types

    As char 's size is always the minimum supported data type, no other data types (except bit-fields) can be smaller. The minimum size for char is 8 bits, the minimum size for short and int is 16 bits, for long it is 32 bits and long long must contain at least 64 bits.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_string_handling

    On other platforms it is defined as 32-bit and a Unicode code point always fits. The C standard only requires that wchar_t be wide enough to hold the widest character set among the supported system locales [9] and be greater or equal in size to char, [10] wint_t: Integer type that can hold any value of a wchar_t as well as the value of the ...

    Byte, octet, minimum size of char in C99( see limits.h CHAR_BIT) −128 to +127 0 to 255 2 bytes 16 bits x86 word, minimum size of short and int in C −32,768 to +32,767 0 to 65,535 4 bytes 32 bits x86 double word, minimum size of long in C, actual size of int for most modern C compilers, [8] pointer for IA-32-compatible processors

  6. Null-terminated string - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null-terminated_string

    This allows the string to contain NUL and made finding the length need only one memory access (O(1) (constant) time), but limited string length to 255 characters. C designer Dennis Ritchie chose to follow the convention of null-termination to avoid the limitation on the length of a string and because maintaining the count seemed, in his ...

  7. Character (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Character_(computing)

    A char in the C programming language is a data type with the size of exactly one byte, [6] [7] which in turn is defined to be large enough to contain any member of the "basic execution character set". The exact number of bits can be checked via CHAR_BIT macro. By far the most common size is 8 bits, and the POSIX standard requires it to be 8 ...

  9. String (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_(computer_science)

    The length of a string can be stored implicitly by using a special terminating character; often this is the null character (NUL), which has all bits zero, a convention used and perpetuated by the popular C programming language. [11] Hence, this representation is commonly referred to as a C string.
