C programming
Answer:
The C standard is explained that the minimum size of the integer should be 16 bits. Some programing language is explained that the size of the integer is implementation-dependent but portable programs shouldn’t depend on it.
Primarily the size of integer depends on the type of the compiler which has written by the compiler writer for the underlying processor. You can see compilers merrily changing the size of integer according to convenience and underlying architectures. So it is my recommendation to use the C99 integer data types ( uin8_t, uin16_t, uin32_t ..) in place of standard int.
