C Programming - Program To Demonstrate The Working of Keyword Long

This C program demonstrates the size of data types when the long keyword is used. It prints the size of int, long int, and long long int on the system. The output shows int and long int are both 4 bytes while long long int is 8 bytes. The program uses the sizeof operator to determine the size of each data type. The long keyword increases the size of data types to store larger values outside the typical range of int.

C Program to Demonstrate the

Working of Keyword long


Keyword long is used for altering the size of data type. For example: the size of int is either 2
bytes or 4 bytes but, when long keyword is used, the size of long int will be either 4 bytes or
8 bytes. Also, you can use long long int . The size of long long int is generally 8 bytes.
This program will demonstrate the size of keyword long for my system. It may be different in
your system.

Source Code
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
int a;
long int b;
long long int c;

/* int is optional. */
/* int is optional. */

printf("Size of int = %d bytes\n",sizeof(a));


printf("Size of long int = %ld bytes\n",sizeof(b));
printf("Size of long long int = %ld bytes",sizeof(c));
return 0;
}
Output
Size of int = 4 bytes
Size of long int = 4 bytes
Size of long long int = 8 bytes
In this program, the sizeof operator is used for finding the size of int , long int and long
long int .
Thus, int and long int for my system can hold values from -2 3 1 to 2 31 -1. If I have to work on
data outside this range, I have to use long long int , which can hold values from -2 63 to 2 63 -1
.
Similarly, the long keyword can be used double and floats types.
