Question

Run the following commands in a program and observe the result.  Turn in a written description of what was output, as well as an explanation of why the values output were produced.

      int w = 2147483648;

      cout << w-1 << endl;

      cout << w << endl;

      cout << w+1 << endl;

      cout << w+2 << endl;

      unsigned u = 4294967296;

      cout << u-1 << endl;

      cout << u << endl;

      cout << u+1 << endl;

      cout << u+2 << endl;

Explanation / Answer

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
   //Visual Studio 2008 on a 32-bit architecture int and long both are 4 bytes
  
   int w = 2147483648;   //signed int ragge : -2147483647 to 2147483647

      cout << "w-1 = "<<w-1 << endl; // display correct value after deducting 1 from w

      cout <<"w = " <<w << endl;   // when you add one to the maximum value of int, you get the minimum value of int as its implemented as circlular

      cout << "w+1 = "<<w+1 << endl; //minimum +1

      cout << "w+2 = "<<w+2 << endl; //minimum +2

      //unsigned int range is 0 to 4294967295

      unsigned u = 4294967296;

      cout << "u-1 = "<< u-1 << endl;   //in range

      cout << "u = "<< u << endl;     // min value =0

      cout << "u+1 = "<< u+1 << endl; // 0+1 =1

      cout << "u+2 = "<< u+2 << endl; // 0+2
    
   return 0;
}

output:
