Maybe in later days, but right now I'll continue at the pace the instructor sets so as not to confuse myself. I hear later parts of C++ are confusing to learners as-is. It's nice to know such things do exist, though, and I will likely put those to use either later in the course or after the course is over. Thanks for the recommendation.

Interesting. At least there's a reason, even if it doesn't make much sense at first to newcomers. My instructor is on a Macintosh (I guess he isn't using MinGW, he was just encouraging Windows users to use it because it's just the Windows version of what he uses), so I understand why he never had this problem or thought to tell us a way around it. Thanks for the help.

Excellent help. I guess that "int" declares a long integer by default? Interesting. I did know about unsigned, but he wanted us to test different integer types and see how they worked, and one of the ones he wanted was long integers. I was avoiding using unsigned until I could figure out what was wrong with long.

Using "long long" worked, and it now displays the correct information. Thanks.
