   First, that code won't compile.  Ignoring the 'int main(void)' which will
   just create a warning, the *many* `//`'s are *not* C style comments. 

But most modern C compilers, at least in the PC world, have added C++
style comments as a worthwhile extension.  And he's pretty clearly in
the PC world, since he's (I hope!) not stuck using a PDP-11 or the
like ( about the only places ints are 16 bits ).

   Not to mention you have a an if-then when the answer is hard coded.

I'd assume it's a work in progress; I often write hard coded functions
like that on the way to finishing them.
