Expert Solution
Step 1

Let's first understand all the terms:

1. BYTE and SBYTE

BYTE is a data type which stores 8 - bit integers (the memory used is 8-bit) of unsigned types, which means it consists of only positive integers.

The range of storing integers in BYTE is 0 to 255.

SBYTE is stands for Signed BYTE which stores 8-bit integers (the memory used is 8-bit) of signed types.

Which means it consists of both positive and negative numbers.

The range of SBYTE of storing integers is -128 to 127.

 

2. WORD and SWORD

WORD is a data types which stores 16 - bit integers (memory used is 16 bits) of unsigned types.

Which means it consists of only positive integers.

The range of storing integers in WORD is 0 to 65535.

SWORD is a data type which stores 16-bit integers (memory used is 16 bits) of signed types.

Which means it consists of both positive and negative integers.

The range of SWORD of storing integers is -32768 to 32767.
