Data Type Sizes

[victorf]

I am reading the ZBasic reference manual. Section 2.2 Data Types lists all of the available data types but does not mention the size of these types. Some of the sizes are easy to figure out, but not all. What is the size of an long, unsigned long, single and a string? I understand that a string's size depends on its declaration but there is often a couple of bytes of overhead there too. I am trying to calculate storage requirements - in external FRAM - for an application I am thinking of building.

Any enlightenment will be appreciated.

You need to read a little more. Section 3.19 gives the information you are looking for.

Singles are IEEE single precision floating point numbers and are 4 bytes by defnition.
