Just remember... it's not in the box, it's in the band.

They should do what the C standard did to solve this problem. A C int is generally of whatever size the architecture is most easily capable of manipulating. On nearly all modern architectures, this is four bytes, but this is not mandatory. On certain embedded systems, I've seen two (and even three, on a 24-bit DSP) byte integers. The long type (or, in C99, the int32_t type), however, is always 32 bits or four bytes, and that's why both long and int are valuable as distinct types.

As an upperclassman in MIT's computer science department, my summer offers are typically $35-$40/hr plus several thousand for travel and housing, and often other perks. This lines up with a mean gra Negotiate, though! Last summer I took my best offer to the company whose project I liked the most and they matched it without arguing.
