I’m working on understanding exit codes in C++. I noticed that if a C++ program returns the value 4294967296 (which is beyond the range of a 32-bit integer), the exit code is 255. Given that 32-bit integers typically range from -2147483648 to 2147483647, why does this specific return value produce an exit code of 255?

I would appreciate any insights into how integer representation and memory management cause this behavior.

below is the video and pic link shows the my error

github repo for my code https://github.com/vididvidid/LearnC–/tree/main/exitCode

i have searched on google and various platform but got limited with information available on net. it show the range is this only it’s because of your os. another video in my repo will show you i used the bash script and printed to through whole range
