What is size_t ?

So...in one of the lines of the program, it contains "size_t"...what exactly is size_t? An integer? --HappyCamper 22:05, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: What is size_t

When you apply the sizeof operator in a C expression, the result has type size_t. It is an unsigned integer type that can represent the size of the largest data object you can declare. It'll probably be either unsigned int or unsigned long. The Standard C library makes extensive use of size_t. Many function arguments and return values are declared to have this type. -- Mickraus 15:19, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
