integer type in C#

Question

Hello everyone 1. C# has integer types int int32 int64 and long. In my understanding int32 is always 32-bit int64 and long are always 64-bit. My understanding correct? 2. How about int? Is it 32-bit or 64-bit or depends on how we build application (build as 32-bit? build as 64-bit or any CPU?) thanks in advance George

One thing I've always liked about C# is that the integer types are always the same length no matter what platform you're running on. This contrasts with the position under C/C++ where the short int and long types can overlap depending on the platform. For example in Win32 programming int and long are both 4 byte integers. If you want an 8 byte integer you have to use 'long long' !
