C++ '''signed short''' will take at least 16 bits of memory to hold and cannot be less than [[signed char]] in any specific implementation; it can, however, differ from compiler to compiler. Signed short usually gets stored as [[two's complement]] integer, but it is not a requirement of the standard.

signed int can safely store values -2¹⁵ – 2¹⁵-1, if the value gets too large or too small, a roll over can take place. While the fact of a roll over is a guarantee at some point, a coder cannot assume that it will happen in a specific place, SHRT_MIN and SHRT_MAX constants from <climits> library can be used to determine that.

==Other C++ data types of the same size==
* [[unsigned short]]
* [[char16_t]] (although this is not a requirement, and the program should not rely on these two being the same size, unless you know that you will not change the compiler used).
* [[signed int]] (unsigned char is less than '''or equal to''' signed int, in many implementations they are equal, but it is not a requirement)

==Other C++ data types storing signed integers==
* [[signed char]] at least 8 bits
* [[signed int|int]] not less than 16 bits, not smaller than short
* [[signed long|long]] not less than 32 bits, not smaller than int
* [[signed long long|long long]] not less than 64 bits, not smaller than long
