Integer (computer science) at least 32 bits on any computer. Programmers may also incorrectly assume that a pointer can be converted to an integer without loss of information, which may work on (some) 32-bit computers, but fail on 64-bit computers with 64-bit pointers and 32-bit integers. A "short integer" can represent a whole number that may take less storage, while having a smaller range, compared with a standard integer on the same machine. In C, it is denoted by short. It is required to be at least 16 bits, and is often smaller than a standard integer, but this is not required. A
Counting sort key as well, then the second and third loops of counting sort can be combined; in the second loop, instead of computing the position where items with key codice_2 should be placed in the output, simply append codice_8 copies of the number codice_2 to the output. This algorithm may also be used to eliminate duplicate keys, by replacing the codice_10 array with a bit vector that stores a codice_11 for a key that is present in the input and a codice_12 for a key that is not present. If additionally the items are the integer keys themselves, both second and
