int is 16 bits, big endian, signed. It goes from -32768 to 32767. unsigned
int goes from 0 to 65535. char is 8, long is 32, long long is 64, with the
standard limits. Floats and doubles are emulated in software, as the H8/300
processor has no native support for them. They are standard IEEE format and
have the standard IEEE limits (which I don't know.)

Likewise, what is the floating point accuracy of BrickOS for variables of type "float" and "double" (is there such thing in BrickOS?) ? Both of these questions (...)
