Will a 64-bit Unsigned Integer wrap around on 32-bit system?

Question
Simple question, need an answer quickly please!
Take this situation on a 32-bit machine:
Unsigned long long n = 1;
n -= 2;
I know on a 64-bit machine, this would wrap around to the highest unsigned long long. But what would happen on a 32-bit machine, since the long long is stored as two separate words?
Thank you!
La solution
If the implementation is conforming, then the same: it will correctly wrap around. I assume this is C; The C standard requires this behavior independently from the implementation details.
Autres conseils
A 64 bit integer datatype behaves the same on all architectures, including 32 bit. If not, programming would be quite hard, wouldn't it?
