why C is shit

int a = 0xFFFFFFFF;
*( (char *) &a ) = 0x0F;

is the only way to do it in C. You can't simply go (char) a = 0x0F; because it's ``not a valid lvalue.'' Put C back where it belongs, in the garbage. It was a DSL for building Unix no wonder that's such shit too. We can do better now.

This is not the way to do it in C.

The way to do it in C is a = (a & ~0xFF) | 0x0F;.

The shit you wrote does something entirely different on a big-endian architecture.

Pls go back to haskal and don't try to use C ever again, thxbye.
