}

I think your output will be different each time unless you happen to have

char - 1 byte
int - 2 bytes

Indeed... I get the same result if I make it a short.
Anyway, it's setting the individual bytes of the int so to speak.
Byte 1 = 3
Byte 2 = 2
On high endian machines, that would make the short equal to 0x0203.
Input that into a calculator and convert to decimal and you get 515.
