mfw my windows friends in my computer science class laugh when my professor says there are still systems which have 4-byte longs:blobthinkingeyes:

@pounce are they never considering embedded development?

@pounce mental blank, was thinking about '8 byte' as though it were '8-bit' like '8 bit operating system'.i was only taught byte length in relation to Visual C++ so im not the person to ask about byte lengths on other platforms.

@oct2pus oh gotcha lolthere are just different ways of defining C types, so on some systems an `int` might be 2 bytes and on another it'll be 4. There are tons of different ways to do this, but in x86_64 most people have moved to LP64 except windows which uses LLP64. The only difference between the two is that on windows `long` is the same size as `int` and i just think that's silly :p

@oct2pus also tbh i mix up "bit" and "byte" far too much and i've been doing this for a few years...
