   What is the exact quote from K&R C ?    Could someone please give us the quote ?

I'm not going to type in the whole page, but the key sentence is (IMHO):   Each compiler is free to choose appropriate sizes for its own hardware,   subject only to the restriction thar shorts and ints are at least 16 bits,   longs are at least 32 bits, and short is no longer than int, which is no   longer than long.

That sums up pretty well how much you know when you write   int i;
and how much you don't know.

But who still writes in C these days? <G,D&R>
