title: int limit vs long limit
body: <p>Everyone knows this, <code>int</code> are smaller than <code>long</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Behind <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/296az74e.aspx" rel="nofollow">this MSDN link</a>, I'm reading the following :</p>
  
  <pre><code>INT_MIN (Minimum value for a variable of type int.)    –2147483648
  INT_MAX (Maximum value for a variable of type int.)     2147483647
  
  LONG_MIN (Minimum value for a variable of type long.)  –2147483648
  LONG_MAX (Maximum value for a variable of type long.)   2147483647
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The same information can be found <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/s3f49ktz.aspx" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Have I been told a lie my whole life? What is the difference between <code>int</code> and <code>long</code> if not the values they can hold ? How come?</p>
