The purpose of the crc32() function is to calculate a cyclic redundancy checksum or CRC of any string for validating the integrity of the data. If you want to make sure that you get the correct string representation you should use the %u formatter of the printf() or sprintf() functions. If you do not use the %u formatter then you may get an incorrect or negative number displayed in the result.
