Hello there,

Just wanted to ask if there's a real difference between e.g. the "long" type and "int_fast64_t" in terms of execution times.

Thanks

You need to specify your platform.

In most cases, no, you won't see a difference.

It exists so that if the platform has faster arithmetic for a certain size, it can choose that size.

I using Windows 10 x64.
