If the goal is (as you wrote) to 'get rid of the negative sign' take a look
at the abs() function.

Subject: [C] typecasting


Hey, I got the following code:

int main(void) {
    int i = -33;

    printf("%d\n", i);
    printf("%d\n", (unsigned int)i);
    return 0;
}

I get -33 for both, why? Since I'm typecasting the second as an unsigned
int, shouldn't it get rid of the negative sign?

Thanks.
