## Description

Used to store 16-bit integer values. The default value is 0. Generally you will use the Integer data type (equivalent to `Int32</api/data_types/additional_types/int32>` on 32-bit apps or `Int64</api/data_types/additional_types/int64>` on 64-bit apps) or `UInteger</api/data_types/additional_types/uinteger>` (equivalent to `UInt32</api/data_types/additional_types/uint32>` on 32-bit apps or `UInt64</api/data_types/additional_types/uint64>` on 64-bit apps). This size-specific integer data type is available for use with external OS APIs.
