### ShortCard

#### Synopsis

         type
           ShortCard = Cardinal attribute (Size = BitSizeOf (ShortInt));

#### Description

`ShortCard` is an unsigned integer type which is not larger than `Cardinal`. On some platforms it is 16 bits wide and thus has a range of `0 .. 65535`.

`ShortCard` in GNU Pascal is compatible to `short unsigned int` in GNU C.

There are lots of other integer types in GPC, see Integer Types.

#### Conforming to

`ShortCard` is a GNU Pascal extension.

#### Example

         program ShortCardDemo;
         var
           a: ShortCard;
         begin
           a := 42;
           WriteLn (a)
         end.
