how the size of an integer is decided?
- is it based on processor or compiler or OS?

Answer Posted / hrishikesh

I think it is decided by Os...
Because variables are assigned memory while the program is
in execution which is done by the OS,and the "MEMORY
MANAGEMENT" is one of the important services provided by the
OS which does the "memory allocation and De allocation".

So, what will be the amount of location needed to store an
int is OS dependent .

Thanks ....,,,,

Given only putchar (no sprintf, itoa, etc.) write a routine putlong that prints out an unsigned long in decimal. [ I gave the obvious solution of taking % 10 and / 10, which gives us the decimal value in reverse order. This requires an array since we need to print it out in the correct order. The interviewer wasn't too pleased and asked me to give a solution which didn't need the array ].
