Editing I386 (section)

=== Data types ===
The following data types are directly supported and thus implemented by one or more i386 [[machine instruction]]s; these data types are briefly described here.<ref name="Miller2005p2" /><!--(copyrasted) <ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=KJNpD2KimEsC&lpg=PP1&pg=PA514 page 514].</ref>-->:
* ''Bit'' ([[Boolean data type|Boolean]] value), ''bit field'' (group of up to 32 bits) and ''bit string'' (up to 4 Gbit in length).
* ''8-bit integer (byte)'', either signed (range −128..127) or unsigned (range 0..255).
* ''16-bit integer'', either signed (range −32,768..32,767) or unsigned (range 0..65,535).
* ''32-bit integer'', either signed (range −2<sup>31</sup>..2<sup>31</sup>−1) or unsigned (range 0..2<sup>32</sup>−1).
* ''Offset'', a 16- or 32-bit displacement referring to a memory location (using any addressing mode).
* ''Pointer'', a 16-bit selector together with a 16- or 32-bit offset.
* ''Character'' (8-bit character code).
* ''String'', a sequence of 8-, 16- or 32-bit words (up to 4 Gbyte in length).<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=El-ayat|first1=K. A.|last2=Agarwal|first2=R.

*''[[Binary-coded decimal|BCD]]'', decimal digits (0..9) represented by unpacked bytes.
*''Packed BCD'', two BCD digits in one byte (range 0..99).
