quick question of curiosity about return statements

Hi... just a quick one...

what would:

Code:

---

int somefunc(int x){
 
  return x * x;

}

---

would this return statement return x squared or something different?

Yes, it would return (x * x), which is the same as x squared. At least until it overflows the integer (which happens with numbers bigger than sqrt(INT_MAX), most machines that would be sqrt((2^31)-1) -> 46340). [^ here means to the power of, rather than XOR].
