    Question How to declare word in c++?

    I was wondering how one would go about declaring a word in msvc++ 6.0. I checked MSDN but the did not have any information on the subject.

    It is not possible to declare a word in C++.
    The word-length varies from machine to machine.

    Often a "short int" is a word, but one cannot be sure.

    If you're using Win API, there's a type called WORD. Use it.

    do you mean declearing a word like a int ? if so it is not possible cause int and other number types has fixed sizes but word dont have fixed sizes so use a string you cant define one.
