This [1] might be a better example. C isn't Pascal, you can't just define a type of integer with a fixed range, so here, I check to ensure that the code above has done its job. I don't want an if statement here for this, for if the code above works, the if will never be triggered, and thus, as far as I'm concerned, is dead code.
