unsigned long long type printing in hexadecimal format

CIntegerPrintf

C Problem Overview


I am trying to print out an unsigned long long like this:

  printf("Hex add is: 0x%ux ", hexAdd);

but I am getting type conversion errors since I have an unsigned long long.

C Solutions


Solution 1 - C

You can use the same ll size modifier for %x, thus:

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    unsigned long long x = 123456789012345ULL;
    printf("%llx\n", x);
    return 0;
}

The full range of conversion and formatting specifiers is in a great table here:

Solution 2 - C

try %llu - this will be long long unsigned in decimal form

%llx prints long long unsigned in hex

Solution 3 - C

printf("Hex add is: %llu", hexAdd);

Solution 4 - C

I had a similar issue with this using the MinGW libraries. I couldn't get it to recognize the %llu or %llx stuff.

Here is my answer...

void PutValue64(uint64_t value) {
char	a_string[25];   // 16 for the hex data, 2 for the 0x, 1 for the term, and some spare
uint32	MSB_part;
uint32	LSB_part;

	MSB_part = value >> 32;
	LSB_part= value & 0x00000000FFFFFFFF;

	printf(a_string, "0x%04x%08x", MSB_part, LSB_part);
}

Note, I think the %04x can simply be %x, but the %08x is required.

Good luck. Mark
