And still wrong, because after all the significant bits go away, you get
-1 instead of 0, which you should get.  I guess some things have to be

and turn the example given into an assignment of -3 (or is that -4? not
many computers do integer division the way we learned it back in foundations
or ring theory!) to the variable?
