1. The word length indicates the nominal size of the pointer data. The most important system parameter determined by the word length is the maximum size of the virtual address space
2. Char types can also be used to store integer values
3. Using an integer type of deterministic size is the best way for programmers to accurately control data representation
4. The pattern of arranging an object byte in a machine for a normal user is a small-ended mode
5. The byte order becomes an issue in the following scenarios:

• Transfer binary data over a network between different types of machines
• Read the byte sequence that represents the integer data
• Write programs that circumvent the normal type system
