off-topic questions on this mailing list. GCC nor MinGW-w64 is as buggy as
you seem to think.

a professor put this out as a programming example or someone put this out
in a "how not to program in c++" book.

It works correctly, because sizeof(int) == 4 and 1250
is too big for 32 bits. If you take the least significant four bytes
of that value, you get (what a surprise) exactly 445948416.
The three vars are expanded from short to int and multiplicated
(still into an int), then the result is e
bug: conversion of integers and other numbers not there.
#include
#include
using namespace std;
int main(void) {
unsigned short cyl=5000, head=5000, sector=5000;
uint64_t n=cyl * head * sector; //result should be
cout<<"result should be 1250:="
