   C has the same semantics for integer division:   
      
   $ cat int.c && gcc int.c && ./a.out   
   #include    
   int main()   
   {   
     printf("%d\n",3/5);   
     return 0;   
   }   
   0   
      
   It's one of those things that take people by surprise, and   
   exponentiation is one of the places where it may not be seen easily.
