Answer / rohit

yes, i too agree it is compiler dependent. But, can anyone
explain, why it is compiler dependent?

If it is a 16 bit compiler, then the size of int is 2
bytes. If it is a 32 bit compiler, then the size of int is
4 bytes. Is there is any reason behind this? It will be
helpful if anyone clarifies this?

The integer size is processor dependent.
In Turbo C or Borland C , we are using only the 8086
virtual mode processor. thus we get size of int as 2Byte
and thus size of long int as 4 Byte.
