====Description   ====

A //short// is a 16-bit data-type. 

On all Arduinos (ATMega and ARM based) a //short// stores a 16-bit (2-byte) value. This yields a range of -32,768 to 32,767 (minimum value of -2^15 and a maximum value of (2^15) - 1). \\

====Example   ====

*var - your short variable name
*val - the value you assign to that variable
