Int data type

Anyone know why the Int data type is 16-bit in VB, and 32-bit in C?

Probably because in C-language it was customary to change the variable size in anticipation of a processor change but in the BASIC language it was not. That is, until .NET.

Okay, so that's why in .NET you can have signed/unsigned data types.

Thanks.
