      now take the int as 4byte :

      means that it can hold the maximum value as 0 to (2^64 - 1)
      now once u reach more the max limit then it is again assign as the 0
    value
    and the counter will aginn will be set as the 0 value.......

      Now u have to check this value ....
      Now i think u can handle the situation of over flow.....

      use of prototype is to tell compiler that thgis sort of function is
    present whcih is going to be used in the main source file..........
      elae it will not able to recognise
