My mistake, I meant "%lu\n", not "%llu\n".

Sure, if you use an incorrect format you can sometimes learn
something about the value being passed to printf, or its
representation -- but what's the point? c is of type int, and
happens to have a negative value; printing it as if it were an
unsigned int means you're lying to the compiler, and the behavior
is undefined. Printing the value of a * b shows you the actual
value that was converted to int.
I showed how to print the actual values with their correct types.
