Funny Thing :) This number seems to be simply a concatenation of the hex values.. (0x72616A61, where 'r' is 0x72, 'a' is 0x61 and 'r' is 0x6A) I would recommend to use a for loop, to print the ascii values of each individual Charakter...

Your code says int('raja'), not int("raja"), but neither of the two were valid candidate for conversion to int anyways. People say garbage in, garbage out, we can't expect a good output when the given input is bad. Just saying ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

~ swim ~ What is an example of a valid conversion result from multi character constant to integer? and is there a way to know whether if the conversion result was valid or invalid?

~ swim ~ That's alright, I was just asking if there was a way to know if the result was valid. I thought we'd get some error message when conversion fail, but I guess it doesn't have to be (in doubt).
