Why not use 'int' or 'long int'?

Limits are declared in <limits.h> (standard?). This is what it says on
my system:

#define INT_MAX         2147483647      /* max value of an "int" */
#define UINT_MAX        4294967295U     /* max value of an "unsigned
int" */
#define LONG_MAX        9223372036854775807L
                                        /* max value of a "long int" */

#define DBL_MAX         1.7976931348623157E+308 /* max decimal value of
a */
                                                /* "double" */

(very system dependent I guess)
