Yes, it's about the place it takes in the memory. The short will take less space than int and long will take a little bit more.

short and long takes a certain place in memory. The size of the int depends on the machine. For example : on a 16bits machine, int and short will have the same size (2 octets) ; on a 32bits machine, int and long will have the same size (4 octets)

if we didn't declare the size of memory..just an integer..the memory will be just for the little numbers or all size ?
