would be treated as equivalent to the integer
0x0000ffff
. This treatment
is different from the way a
short
with the value
0xffff
would be treated-
sign extension makes the
short
equivalent to
-1
, and its
int
equivalent
would be
0xffffffff
.
The above are all examples of different type conversions that can occur
within an expression, to determine the type of that expression. The
complete set of conversions is discussed next.
