In practice it is usual for a long integer to require double the storage capacity of a standard integer, and consequently hold double the number of discrete values, although this is not always the case.
A variable defined as a long integer in one programming language may be different in size to a similarly defined variable in another. In some languages this size is fixed, whilst in others it is machine dependent. In some languages the type does not exist at all.
