Answer to Exercise 1-24, page 36

Solution by Rick Dearman

Write a program to determine the ranges of char , short , int , and long variables, both signed and unsigned , by printing appropriate values from standard headers and by direct computation. Harder if you compute them: determine the ranges of the various floating-point types. 



#include <stdio.h>
#include <limits.h>

int 
main ()
{
  printf("Size of Char %d\n", CHAR_BIT);
  printf("Size of Char Max %d\n", CHAR_MAX);
  printf("Size of Char Min %d\n", CHAR_MIN);
  printf("Size of int min %d\n", INT_MIN);
  printf("Size of int max %d\n", INT_MAX);
  printf("Size of long min %d\n", LONG_MIN);
  printf("Size of long max %d\n", LONG_MAX);
  printf("Size of short min %d\n", SHRT_MIN);
  printf("Size of short max %d\n", SHRT_MAX);
  printf("Size of unsigned char %d\n", UCHAR_MAX);
  printf("Size of unsigned long %d\n", ULONG_MAX);
  printf("Size of unsigned int %d\n", UINT_MAX);
  printf("Size of unsigned short %d\n", USHRT_MAX);

  return 0;
}
