gangnam

Your mission

Return the number a signed 32-bit counter would display for a given real view count, wrapping when it overflows.

today's brief

December 2014. Gangnam Style becomes the first video to pass 2,147,483,647 views on YouTube, which is exactly the largest number a signed 32-bit integer can hold. The counter rolls over, and Google publicly jokes that they had to upgrade the view count to a 64-bit integer to keep up with Psy. Show what the odometer read the moment it wrapped.

Your checklist

For your own tracking. Tests grade your code.

real is the true view count, non-negative.
A signed 32-bit integer holds -2147483648 to 2147483647. If real fits (at most 2147483647), return it unchanged.
If real is larger, return the value it wraps to when stored in that 32-bit integer: take real modulo 4294967296, then subtract 4294967296 if the result is 2147483648 or more.
