refer to a location
When we want signed numbers, we center our ranges AROUND 0. So bytes (chars)
can go from -128 to 127, shorts from -32768 to 32767, and so on. By default all
of the types are signed (except pointers) UNLESS you put an "unsigned" in front
of them. You can also place "signed" in front to explicitly say you want the
type to be signed. //A catch - on ARM systems chars often are unsigned by
default//. Also be aware that it is common on 64 bit systems to have long
integers be 64 bit, and on 32 [...]
-Pointers follow the instruction set mode. For 32 bit architectures pointers
are 32 bits in size, and are bits in size on 64 bit architectures. Standard ARM
systems are 32 bit, except for very new 64 bit ARM systems. On x86, 64 bit has
been around for a while, and so you will commonly see both. This is the same
for PowerPC and MIPS as well.

Memory to a machine is just a big "spreadsheet" of numbers. Imagine it as a
spreadsheet with only 1 column and a lot of rows. Every cell can store 8 bits
(a byte). If you "merge" rows (2, 4, 8) you can store more values as above. But
when you merge rows, the next row number doesn't change. You also could still
address the "parts" of the merged cell as bytes or smaller units. In the end
pointers are nothing more than a number saying "go to memory row 2943298 and
get me the integer (4 byte [...]
