i attempted a quiz there is a question which is posted as
in this why unsigned int take so large value in output
for example in line 6,7
Cpp data modifier
@Iitianrahman
It is an unsigned int variable which means it cannot take a negative value. It can only store positive integers ( and zero ) in it.
We try to assign the negative value -2019 to the variable BOSS2 . This is outside the range of unsigned int variable and is considered as an underflow condition.
The value is modified from -2019 to 2^32 - 2019 which is equal to 4294965277 . Hence the large answer.
Similar case for BOSS1.
Since it is a short unsigned int , its range is smaller and is converted as
-2018 -> 2^16 - 2018 = 63518
