    If you want a larger (or smaller) integer, use Int64 or Int16. An int is as big as the compiler defines it to be.

      no. visual c++ 1.2 (and turbo pascal) defined an int as 16-bit. Starting with Visual C++ 2.0, an int was 32 bit.

        Hello everyone, When using "int", it is always 32-bit? No matter whether we make build option as Any CPU, x86 and x64? thanks in advance, George

        Yes. In C# an int is always 32 bits. The keyword int is an alias for the type System.Int32.

        Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.

            Just to add to the pot: The C# keyword int is a compiler accessor to the System.Int32 type. You may use the below code to validate this as an excercise on each platform:

            typeof(int) == typeof(System.Int32)

            The above code will return true.
