           Summary: Error in parts (c) and (d) of this problem.

Using seed=1234, part (c) is to find the six-bit 1s complement of -29 which is
100010. The question has 111111 as the "correct answer".
I believe the source of the problem is in this line of the code:
$c2 = substr($ab2, 26, 6);

Same sort of problem with part (d). Six-bit 1s complement of -17 should be
101110. Again the "correct answer" is found as 111111.

Parts (a) and (b) are fine.
