Keywords: compiler problems Message-ID: <547@tsc.dec.com> Date: 24 Jun 88 14:08:53 GMT Organization: DEC CSC/NSU in Colorado Springs Lines: 34 When I run the following code on a VAX running Ultrix 2.2 I get a correct output of: 2 to the 4th = 16 When I run it on a 6300+ running V2.5 unix I get: 2 to the 0th = 4 Where is the problem? Is this a bug? The code: /* lpowd.c */ main() { long b,e,a,lpow(); b = 2; e = 4; a = lpow(b,e); printf("%d to the %dth = %d\n",b,e,a); } long lpow(lnum, n) long lnum; long n; { long p; p=1; for ( ; n > 0; --n) p *= lnum; return (p); }
