#171265 - Integer promotion Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Because C has something called "integer promotion", where numbers smaller than an int gets upgraded to an int (or unsigned int) before calculations are made. And an int must be >= 16 bit so the smallest value at least 16 bit large has been selected as the size of an int for the 8051 chips.
I suggest that you get a good C book, and preferably also the C language reference. |
