Whose "short" will hold 100000?
At least my cc warns me :-)/:-(.
Now I know that's a parochial/provincial/hayseed question.  I
realize that there are/may_be computers on which sizeof(char)==
sizeof(short)==sizeof(int)==sizeof(long)==etc., but on your
average run-of-the mill 32-bit machine patterned after the VAX
architecture (loosely, maybe, but still ...) most folks have
char==1, short==2, int==long==4, don't we?  So how does 100000
fit there?
