Have anybody here ever encountered this kind of situation?

I went for an interview yesterday.  I was feeling extremely good until the 5th person I met.  He asked me to write some code and then asked me if I believed that my code wouldn't be complained by the compiler and I said yes, and then he gave me sometime to think about it.  He was so firmed about this so I thought I was wrong.  After a while, he gave me his version of answer. 

I tried both version at home afterwords, and both works just fine. With the thinking that if I do get the offer, he would be my coworker, I dont' want to ruin the relationship before I even get the offer. But I wouldn't want to risk my opportunity of getting the job, so I sent a email ONLY to him as follows:

"This is XXX whom you interviewed this morning. Sorry to interrupt you this way but I'd like to make a little clarification about the program that confused me during the interview.

I tried the following code this evening, the compiler doesn't complain and the prints show the right result.  If you don't hire me that's fine, I understand there are a lot of other factors to consider.

I enjoyed the interview with you and the other team members.  I would learn a great deal being a part of the team.

" 

I haven't heard from him so far, I know it's weekend... I am expecting him that he could clear the air on his own, but I don't know.  Do you think my way of handling this is professional?  What would you do?

Thanks for any input
