Which parameters decide the size of data type for a processor?..

Answer / Kavita Chaudhary

"The size of a data type in a processor is determined by several factors, including the processor's word length (e.g., 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit), its memory architecture, and the compiler used. In general, smaller data types like char, unsigned char, and boolean require less memory than larger ones such as int, long, or float."
