After Lab-1 (Ans-1)

Signed integers range from -32,768 to 32,767 with a size of 2 bytes (16 bits). Unsigned integers range from 0 to 65,535 with a size of 2 bytes. Long signed integers range from -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647 with a size of 4 bytes (32 bits), while long unsigned integers range from 0 to 4,294,967,295 with a size of 4 bytes. Signed characters range from -128 to 127 with a size of 1 byte (8 bits), and unsigned characters range from 0 to 255 with a size of 1 byte. Floats have a size of 4 bytes (32 bits) and range from 1.2e-38

1 Integer Type
Integers are further subdivided into two categories.

1.Signed Integer
Signed integer has storage size of 2 bytes that is equal to 16 bits. Its values ranges between -32,768 to 32,767.
CALCULATIONS:-
2 Bytes = 16 bits
1 bit can store 2 values
So, 16 bits store 216 values.
216 = 65536
Signed integer takes both positive and negative values.
65536/2 =32768
And 0 is also included. Hence, Range is -32768 to 32767.

2.Unsigned integer
Unsigned Integer has storage size of 2 bytes that is equal to 16 bits. It only takes positive values. Its values
ranges between 0 to 65535.
CALCULATIONS:
2 Bytes= 16 bits
1 bit can store 2 values
So, 16 bits store 216 values.
216 = 65536
Unsigned Integers takes only postive values including 0.
Hence Range is 0 to 65535.

2 Long Integer
Long Integers are further subdivided into two categories.

1. Long Signed Integer


Long Signed integer has storage size of 4 bytes that is equal to 32 bits. Its values ranges between -2147483648
to 2147483647.
CALCULATIONS:-
4 Bytes = 32 bits
1 bit can store 2 values
So, 16 bits store 232 values.
232 = 4294967296
Signed integer takes both positive and negative values.
4294967296/2 =-2147483648
And 0 is also included. Hence, Range is -2147483648 to 2147483647 .

1. Long Unsigned Integer
Long unsigned integer has storage size of 4 bytes that is equal to 32 bits. Its values ranges between 0 to
4294967295.
CALCULATIONS:-
4 Bytes = 32 bits
1 bit can store 2 values
So, 16 bits store 232 values.
232 = 4294967296
Signed integer takes positive values including 0.
Hence, Range is 0 to 4294967295 .

3 Char Type
Characters are further subdivided into two categories.

1.Signed Character
Signed character has storage size of 1 byte that is equal to 8 bits. Its values ranges between -128 to 127.

CALCULATIONS:-
1 Byte = 8 bits
1 bit can store 2 values
So, 8 bits store 28 values.
28 = 256
Signed integer takes both positive and negative values.
256/2 =128
And 0 is also included. Hence, Range is -128 to 127.

2.Unsigned Character
Unsigned character has storage size of 1 byte that is equal to 8 bits. It only takes positive values. Its values
ranges between 0 to 255.
CALCULATIONS:
1 Byte= 8 bits
1 bit can store 2 values
So, 8 bits store 28 values.
28 = 256
Unsigned Integers takes only postive values including 0.
Hence Range is 0 to 255.

4 Float
Float has storage size of 4 bytes that is equal to 32 bits. Its values ranges between 1.2e-38 to 3.4e+38.

5 Double
Double has storage size of 8 bytes that is equal to 64 bits. Its values ranges between 2.3e-308 to 1.7e+308.

6 Long Double
Long Double has storage size of 10 bytes that is equal to 80 bits. Its values ranges between 3.4e-4932 to
1.1e+4932.
