The arithmetic type specifiers are built from the following keywords: 

void

, 

char

,

int

, 

float

, and 

double

, together with prefixes 

short

, 

long

, 

signed

, and

unsigned

. From these keywords you can build the integral and floating-point

types. Overview of types is given on the following page.

Types 

char

and 

int

, together with their variants, are considered integral data

types. Variants are created by using one of the prefix modifiers 

short

, 

long

,

signed

, and 

unsigned

.

The table below is the overview of the integral types – keywords in parentheses
can be (and often are) omitted.

The modifiers signed and unsigned can be applied to both char and int. In
the absence of unsigned prefix, signed is automatically assumed for integral types.
The only exception is the char, which is unsigned by default. The keywords

signed

and 

unsigned

, when used on their own, mean signed 

int

and

unsigned int

, respectively.

The modifiers 

short

and 

long

can be applied only to the 

int

. The keywords

short

and 

long

used on their own mean 

short int

and 

long int

, respective-

ly.

Types 

float

and 

double

, together with the 

long double

variant, are consid-

ered floating-point types. mikroC’s implementation of ANSI Standard considers all
three to be the same type.

Floating point in mikroC is implemented using the Microchip AN575 32-bit for-
mat (IEEE 754 compliant).
