Um, why? It will probably work, but for case 1 size_t is exactly the

It sounds like you want to use unsigned long if at all possible, and
use size_t only if it's absolutely necessary. Why is that?


Mainly because my project has grown beyond 1000 lines and now its
becoming more and more difficult to keep track of things. That's why I
wanted to keep things a little consistent.
