For some reason, when I execute this program with the following expression 12 12 * 66 + it returns an invalid and negative answer -46. I'm curious as is to what is going wrong, and would like to fix it asap.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "usefunc.h"
#define OFFSET '0'
/*
* I only use one constant.....I really don't need another. and in fact took more
* memory to use the constant than without. several bytes!!
*/
/*
* for this program, I found a library that contained C implementations
* of a stack. I thought I'd use it, since I understand everything it
