    Is long long int a valid Data Type

    Hi Folks,

    Is this datatype included in the Standards.

    If yes,
    1) what is the size of a long long int
    2) What would be its format specifier w.r.t printf / scanf

    Thanks in advance
    Have a wonderful day.... and keep smiling... you look terrific that way

    Since you mention printf and scanf, I assume you mean in C

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    >1) what is the size of a long long int
    sizeof ( long long );

    That would be %lld in C99. C89 doesn't have long long as a standard type, so scanf/printf don't have flags for it.
    My best code is written with the delete key.
