C is shit

Why have short and int if by the standard they end up being the same size number of bits.


Is the following correct:

char        => 8 bits
short       => 16 bits
int         => 16 bits
long        => 32 bits
long long   => 64 bits

float       => 32 bits
double      => 64 bits
long double => 128 bits

whats the point of short?

my type model has
1.more concise types(2 chars vs 4-18)
2.standard length types(2 bytes for ints)
3.type size embedded in type(u[bytes])
4.type identifier embedded in type(u[nsigned integer],s[igned integer],f[loat])
5.simplifies changing type system-wide: just change the relevant type defines.
6.types can be #undef'ed and #define'd for any code block of any length
