### ShortCard

#### Synopsis

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

#### Description

`ShortCard` is an unsigned integer type which is not larger than `Cardinal`. On most 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.
