difference between int and long ?

[Robert Rostek]

Hy there,
can someone help me with this?

what are the possible value ranges of the following types:

int
short int
long int

?

when i read this:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ype_ranges.asp
correctly,

int and long are the same (both are 32 bit and can hold values from –2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647)


so what is the difference between int and long then?
