Hi, Jeff

It appears so. The code below produces:

v1=1, v2=2, v3=3, v4=4.000000, v5=5.000000


#include "stdio.h"
#include "conio.h"

char v1 = 1;
short v2 = v1+1;
long v3 = v2+1;
float v4 = v3+1;
double v5 = v4+1;

int main()
{
    printf("v1=%d, v2=%d, v3=%d, v4=%f, v5=%f\n", v1, v2, v3, v4, v5);
    while (!getch());
    return 0;
}

Regards,
Bruce
