Hello,

I can't figure this out.
Am trying to find the largest integer that will fit inside a 'comp'
field of 8 bytes (64 bits).
Below is the compiler output followed by execution results.
I tried with both signed and unsigned COMP fields.


2**64 = 18,446,744,073,709,551,616

Whether you can display it is another question.
