Answer / larry

This won't work if int is a 16-bit size because 1000000 >
32767 (2 to the 15th - 1). It will work when int is a 32-
bit number. It will work if you cast a or b to a long.

Integer range exceeds if multiply both the variables the resultant value does not to store it. Due to exceeding the int range only we have to declare it as long int and the value is store in c

Answer / shruti

i think, the result exceeds the long int value..

the result is 10 and 6 0s..

and it exceeds the value for the long in

long int is 4 bytes..
the highest value is 65524 (m not very sure.. this could be
one of the reasons)..

Answer / komal

it wont work as we have to declare the variable 'b'
again...we can not declare it like int a=10,b=3;
it has to b like int a=10;
int b=6;
