Strange multiplication (to me anyway!)

Does anyone know why this line of code would give this value!?long l = 5965*5965*67; (actual answer should be 2 383 942 075)In my debugger it says:long l = -1911025221Any help appreciated!

The righthand side is of type int, and the int value overflowed. To fix it:long l = 5965L*5965*67;

Thanks, that worked for when i'm using explicit numbers, how do I get it to do the same thing for this;long l = (a*b*c) + 1;Many thanks again.

Cast one of them to a long.

long l = (long)a * b * c + 1;

Now give the Doc a Duke! He needs his star.

Does casting bind tighter than multiplication, or do we need to do ((long)a) * b * c?
