unsigned int and signed char comparison

Question

I am trying to compare an unsigned int with a signed char like this:

int main(){
  unsigned int x = 9;
  signed char y = -1;
  x < y ? printf(\"s\") : pri         


        

Answer 1

Ran the following code:

int main(){
  unsigned int x = 9;
  signed char y = -1;
  printf("%u\n", (unsigned int)y);
  x < (unsigned int)y ? printf("s") : printf("g");
  return 0;
}

The output is:

4294967295
s

After a casting, y takes a very large value. That is why output is s.
