Sweet! Metrowerks compiles it and lets you figure it out for yourself...

  Well, I could not stand it any more.  After finding the old copy of Turbo C on my old laptop, I entered the code and compiled it. Turbo C highlighted the "for...." line and gave the following warning: "Constant out of range in comparison...."  If I changed the type declaration to int instead of char, no such warning.

  I wrote a lot of lines of C code (not C++) but that was 10 years ago. Turbo C could find a lot of problems during compilation.

    I think you're missing the point. This was a trick question to see if you'd
    catch the fact that cnt was defined as 8-bits (char) and therefore would
    never reach 256. That was the only point of the quiz.
