Hi,

Maybe I have made a very grave mistake, but I just can't yet understand
why the code attached below produced the following output:

first:      cc22       55258
second:     d7da       55258
third:      ffff       65535

Why are the first two numbers, which are different hexadecimals,
printed out as the same decimal number?

Thanks for your kind help in advance.

M. K. Shen

int main()
{ unsigned long int g;

   g=0xcc22; printf("first:  %8x  %10lu\n",g,g);

   g=0xd7da; printf("second: %8x  %10lu\n",g,g);

   g=0xffff; printf("third:  %8x  %10lu\n",g,g);

   return(0);
}
