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
Smooth number it is what the General number field sieve uses to build its notion of smoothness under the homomorphism formula_15. The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (OEIS) lists "B"-smooth numbers for small "B"s: Smooth number In number theory, a smooth (or friable) number is an integer which factors completely into small prime numbers. For example, a 7-smooth number is a number whose prime factors are all at most 7, so 49 = 7 and 15750 = 2 × 3 × 5 × 7 are both 7-smooth, while 11 and 702 = 2 × 3 × 13 are not. The term seems
