And this one seems wrong[*] to me too (making it a rofl²).
It is two chars (or one[*]) too long.
Consider this test:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(void) {
printf("%d\n", sizeof("18446744073709551615\0"));
printf("%d\n", sizeof("18446744073709551615"));
printf("%d\n", strlen("18446744073709551615"));
}
Which will print, when executed,
22
21
20 (the "pure string" length)
[*] Depending on what the original author wanted.
