 A.5 Data Type Measurements
 ==========================
 
 Most of the time, if you choose the proper C data type for each object
 in your program, you need not be concerned with just how it is
 represented or how many bits it uses.  When you do need such
 information, the C language itself does not provide a way to get it.
 The header files 'limits.h' and 'float.h' contain macros which give you
 this information in full detail.

* Width of Type           How many bits does an integer type hold?
* Range of Type           What are the largest and smallest values
 			     that an integer type can hold?
* Floating Type Macros    Parameters that measure the floating point types.
* Structure Measurement   Getting measurements on structure types.
