  15 <H3>18.1.2: <TT>short int</TT></H3>
  16
  17 <p>Another type we haven't met is <TT>short int</TT>.
  18 A <TT>short int</TT>
  19 has the same guarantees as a plain <TT>int</TT>:
  20 it will hold integers in at least the range +-32,767.
  21 The difference between <TT>short int</TT> and plain <TT>int</TT>
  22 is that <TT>short int</TT> <em>might</em> be smaller.
  23 Remember, the definitions of both these types
  24 (like all C types)
  25 is that they have <em>at least</em> the specified range.
  26 On some machines, plain <TT>int</TT> will hold numbers greater than 32,767.
  27 (On 32-bit machines,
  28 for example,
  29 it's common for plain <TT>int</TT> to be 32 bits,
  30 and to hold +-2,147,483,647.
  31 Yes, this is all the way up to the minimum range
  32 for a <TT>long int</TT>.)
  33 You might use a <TT>short int</TT> when you had a lot of them
  34 and were worried about saving memory.
  35 If you had a large array of integers all less than 32,768,
  36 or a large number of structures with one or more members holding
  37 integers all less than 32,768,
  38 you might declare the array or the structure members as <TT>short int</TT>,
  39 to avoid devoting 4 bytes to each of them on 32-bit machines.
