Short integer type specifier

---

  simple-type-specifier  := short 

When used alone or with int , the short type specifier represents a short integer, whose range is no bigger than a plain int . It can be combined with unsigned to denote an unsigned integer whose range is no bigger than a plain unsigned . A plain short is signed by default, but you can use the signed specifier to be explicit.
