Yes, you just discovered a miracle. Well not really. From my knowledge just
putting "int" as the data type will make an integer which can vary between short
or long I think( in a technical way, sorry it's 1:04am and I want to go to bed).
But when you write the int to a file it writes it as a long, same a reading.
Amazing? I always get by this problem by specifically defining a short or a
long. I think this is good practice.
