The difference between int and long are the number of bytes. While a long holds higher numbers than an int does. int and signed are the same. Signed and unsigned are different in that unsigned cant be negative which holds a higher range of positive numbers. You are capable of saying unsigned long with out int on the end. As unsigned long is implied as an integer. Here is a site to help understand the differences maybe in more detail. http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/variables/

Note: the size of int does not change when using un/signed just the range of numbers it stores.
