Hello. I was studying Arduino reference to go deeper through and I have a question about variable declaration. I usually see and use : int ledpin=13; I wonder, as 13 would fit on 8bit or in 1 byte, why we're using int (integer) wich use 2 octets ? Wouldn't it be more rational tu use byte instea…

Hi Nick, would you explain :
"as the compiler will turn references to it to "load literal"." If not to difficult and useful for beginner.
Thanks.
