Error about variable type

void main()
{
      int i, b = 0, snp[8], t = 7, stp = 0, check, n;

      clrscr();
      printf("\nInput a binary number : ");
      scanf("%d", &n);

      for (i = 7; i >= 0 ; i--)
      {
            if (n - pow(10, i) >= 0)
                  snp[b] = 1;
            else
                  snp[b] = 0;
            //n = n - pow(10, i);
            b++;
      }

      for (i = 0; i < 8 ; i++)
      {
            if ((snp[i] != 0) && (snp[i] != 1))
            {
                  printf("This is not a binary number.");
                  getch();
                  exit();
            }
      }

      for (i = 0; i < 8 ; i++)
      {
            //printf("%d ", snp[i]);
            stp += snp[i] * pow(2, t);
            t = t -1;
      }

      printf("The decimal of %d is %d.", n, stp);
      getch();
}

if i change int i, b = 0, snp[8], t = 7, stp = 0, check, n;
to int i, b = 0, check, n;
long int snp[8], t = 7, stp = 0;
it doesn't work
i want input a binary number like 11111111 and then it chane to decimal. How can i do ?

When i change int i, b = 0, snp[8], t = 7, stp = 0, check, n;
to int i, b = 0, check, t = 7, stp = 0;
long int snp[8], n;

then I input 11111 and then it show : The decimal of 589738503 is 255.
why ?
