    C (and therefore C++) differentiates between signed and unsigned values, so a Byte is probably unsigned char, with a range from 0 to 255. A signed char is from -127 to 127.

    char = 1 byte
    short = 2 bytes
    int = 4 bytes
    long = 4 bytes



    Note: int is normally dependent on your compiler. If it is 16-bit, then it will probably be equivalent to short. On 32-bit (which you should be using) then it will be the same as long.
