Unless I'm very much mistaken, the size of an int is 32 bits--4 bytes.
If you are looking to figure out what the largest int on a machine is,
reference INT_MAX in a C program. For size of integers, use the
sizeof operator. I believe the following C program will print out the
information you are looking for:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <limits.h>
void main (void) {
printf (Sizeof (int): %d\nINT_MAX: %d\n", sizeof (int), INT_MAX);
exit (0);
}
