[chbot] Pop quiz C

[Mark Atherton]

Doesn't it depend on what 'a' is declared as, and the language ?

Assuming C, and if 'a' was a U32, and 0xFFFFFFFF was 0xFFFFFFFFL, and 34 was 34L, then possibly the answer might, perhaps, possibly be 0.

having said that, given the context of the question and the person asking the question, I smell an odorous rodent :)
