Example 2: how maany bytes in an int in C
[8-bit] signed char: -127 to 127
[8-bit] unsigned char: 0 to 255
[16-bit]signed short: -32767 to 32767
[16-bit]unsigned short: 0 to 65535
[32-bit]signed long: -2147483647 to 2147483647
[32-bit]unsigned long: 0 to 4294967295
[64-bit]signed long long: -9223372036854775807 to 9223372036854775807
