short -- C Keyword Data type short is a numeric data type. The ANSI standard states that it cannot be longer than an int. COHERENT defines a short to be two bytes long; thus, sizeof short equals two chars, or 15 bits plus a sign, and can hold any value from -32,768 to 32,767. A short normally is sign extended when cast to a larger data type; however, an unsigned short will be zero extended when cast.
