Hi Everyone,

I'm a little confused on the amount of memory each variable type takes
up in RAM.  I understand about bits and bytes and ASCII.  I.E. If you
type in DOG each letter is one byte, thus the entire word DOG is three
bytes.   If each character is one byte how is it that a long int
variable type that can be up to 10 bytes in length only take up 4
bytes of memory?  

Thanks,
Julie
