how to convert long int into int??

[skarthikshines]

hi
how can i convert the long int into signed int ??

 

[Kurenai_ryu]

mind to give some example? and which processor are you using?

as a long int is a signed number of 64 bits (assuming an common PC compiler) a signed int is a signed number of 32 bits

you just discard the upper 32 bits and hope that you don't loose important data.

this can be achieved with a simple cast:

long int a;
signed int bc;

...


bc = (signed int)a;

...

//simple approach that works in many compilers

bc = a; //yep, it works!

some compilers will issue a wanrning for loosing some bits in the middle of the convertion...
