Checking to see if an unsigned integer is less than a negative integer? Nothing could go wrong!

#define SPECIAL_INDEX USHRT_MAX

Here's a puzzle for you: Why would anyone use undefined shit?

It is defined in UAC in ANSI C.
And the story is just to make it more interesting. But you're right, nobody will use it.

I think it is because of widening of the short during the comparison. I think this is because negative integers are bigger in length , so the unsigned short is converted to whatever length the signed int is instead of what you expected to happen.
