Hi all, I need to store a hexadecimal value in C( which would be used as a request type in a network) of around 4digits( or 16 bits-2 bytes ) in a packet structure.If my system keeps 4 bytes for an integers, is it necessary that I have to declare the hex value as of type short int or so, so that it takes up only 2 bytes in my packet ? What if it was required to have a hex value of 3 bytes or so? How could i store it then? Also if hex value was to be of a multiple of 4 bytes would i need to use something like an integer array to store them or a float maybe?
