By the range of values you wish to represent.
To specify the return-type of the function.
To define any integer type value.
In the computer programming language Visual Basic, the data type integer is a whole number which can be used in calclations. It can be positive, negative, or zero. The default type of integer is 32-bit, but with "short" and "long" you can have 16- or 64- bit answers. The short data type works well with small numbers and saves RAM space. If overflow is a problem, long works better because of its larger capacity. To take the integer portion of a decimal, single, or double, use the int() function. int(3.925604) returns 3 as a decimal To convert a data type to integer, use cint() cint(int(3.925604)) returns 3 as an integer
Java is a programming language. The computer science engineer may decide to use the Java language to do his programming - or somebody else may have done the decision for him, in a company at which he works. Or they might decide to use some other language instead.
Use %o
It is easy to tell with function printf:int unknown_value;...printf ("unknown value is %d\n", unknown_value);Note: the typical value-range for type integer is -32768..32767 (16 bits), or -2147483648..2147483647 (32 bits).
Use an enum if you are using a c style language. Or a map data structure. Assign each integer an English value and then match it to what the user inputs.
What type of figurative language did charles w chesnutt use for his books?
A data type that can store integer numbers. The details vary depending on the programming language; many language have different integer types to accomodate different sizes. This lets the programmer use a smaller size (and save memory space) when he only needs to store fairly small numbers - and especially when he needs to store LOTS of fairly small numbers, as in an array. Common sizes include 1 byte, 2 bytes, 4 bytes and 8 bytes of storage.
It depends on what type of data you wish to manipulate.
Normally, you use formal language. It depends on the type of activity. If you are writing a cousin to join you at a beach house for a week end, use informal language. If you are having a wedding with 200 guests, use formal language. In that case, ask your caterer.
Use data-type 'long long' or 'int64_t' (from inttypes.h)
