What is the difference between USHORT and an unsigned short and when would you use each?
USHORT is a macro which is not part of the official C++ language (it’s probably defined or typedef’ed somewhere). unsigned short is an official type defined by the C++ language as an integer that can at least hold numbers between 0 and 65535.
Use unsigned short and your code will be portable – don’t use USHORT unless you company’s coding standard requires it.
