Hi Richard,

No harm, no foul. :-)
> An int is signed only if it's smaller than INT_MAX in magnitude.
And as long as it doesn't exceed UINT_MAX. Normal promotion rules apply.
> Otherwise it's unsigned (hence #defining INT_MIN as (-INT_MAX - 1)
On a 2's complement machine.
On a 1's complement, #define INT_MIN (-INT_MAX)
Sincerely,
