One Response to Rejection

Still haven't shown your work... did you remember to assign the numerical values of the string "YC" to the integer variable YC?

And did you remember to test against 0x5943, rather than 5943?

And did you take Endianness into account? ;-)

I guess I could do all that (truth be told, my C's a bit rusty for a prompt answer).

How 'bout:

  $echo -n "YC" > foo
  $hd foo
  00000000  59 43                                             |YC|
  00000002

Yeah, I know, perhaps 4359 might be better.

(UPDATE: fixed code spacing)

    printf("%hx", *(unsigned short *)"YC");

...works on big endian machines. this works everywhere:

    printf("%hx", htons(*(unsigned short *)"YC"));
