(C/C++) int

data type (and thus a keyword) that can hold a single whole number. If you assign it to a broken number, this value gets rounded down. Your compiler should give you a warning then, as in the example below.

  1. include <assert.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) { const int myValue = 12; const int myBrokenValue = 12.9; assert(myValue==myBrokenValue); return 0; }


Advice

  • Prefer a plain int over a short int or a long int (ref. 1, 4.10.14)
