Size of short integer and long integer can be verified using the sizeof() operator.

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
    short int i = 10;
    long int j = 10;
    printf("short int is %d bytes.,\nlong int is %d bytes.",
            sizeof(i),sizeof(j));
    return 0;
}

Output:
short int is 2 bytes.
long int is 4 bytes.
