- I'm in the process of relearning C and have been doing some beginning
- programs on my PC. I have two compilers (Borland C++ and Power C). My
- problem is that when I run a program using "long" integers (i.e. declare a
- variable as "long"), it locks up immediately and I have to reboot. This
- has happened with both compilers and with two different really basic
- programs (i.e. just trying to do a loop that will compute the first 10
- powers of 2, and another one that simply just tries to find the largest
- positive long value on my computer--> I can find the largest positive int
- value, but when I convert it to long, it locks up)
-
- Is this a problem I have with BOTH (?!?!) compilers, is it my computer
- (486-DX2, 8 megs RAM) or settings, or is it just something I haven't
- learned yet about long integers? One of these programs I copied directly
- from one of TWO books I'm using and it just locks up!
-
- Thanks.
