Full Version: Comparisons with short int in C

Description:

Remember that the short int data type is useful when you need to save memory and the range of values is within its limitations. If you need a broader range or more precision, you may want to use a regular int or other data types like long int or long long int.

Example:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    short int a = 10;
    short int b = 20;

    if (a == b) {
        printf("a and b are equal.\n");
    } else if (a < b) {
        printf("a is less than b.\n");
    } else {
        printf("a is greater than b.\n");
    }

    return 0;
}

Explanation: 

In this example, we compare two short int values a and b. The program checks whether a is equal to b, less than b, or greater than b, and prints the corresponding message.
