Description:


In C, the short int data type is used to represent integer values with a smaller range than regular int. It is a signed integer type that typically occupies 2 bytes in memory, which means it has a smaller range of representable values compared to a regular int.

Example:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    // Declare and initialize a short int variable
    short int myShortInt = 32767;

    // Print the value of the short int variable
    printf("Value of myShortInt: %d\n", myShortInt);
    return 0;
}

Explanation:

Explanation: In this example, we declare a short int variable called myShortInt and initialize it with the value 32767. The %d format specifier is used in printf to print the value of the short int variable.
