An operand of data type INT has a length of 16 bits and consists of two components: a sign and a numerical value in the two's complement. The signal states of bits 0 to 14 represent the number value. The signal state of bit 15 represents the sign. The sign may assume 0 for the positive, or 1 for the negative signal state.
An operand of data type INT occupies two BYTE in the memory.
The following table shows the properties of data type INT:
