are you seriously asking this or is this just a troll?

what do you expect the following code to produce:

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
    char c;
    unsigned int i2;
    unsigned int i1 = 0x12345678;

    c = (char) i1;
    i2 = (unsigned int) c;

    printf("i1: %8.8x\tc: %2.2x\ti2: %8.8x\n", i1, c, i2);

    return 0;
}


do you think i1 == i2?
