printf / sscanf unsigned long long int variables

[Joerg Schwerdtfeger]

Hi everyone,

I want to input & output an unsigned long long int variable, but
printf/sscanf seems to interpret the least significant 32 bits only.

I assume this is a bloody newbie-question, but reading the clc-faq and
googleing for this issue, I only found out that this might be a known
problem - but how can I fix it? Are there any workarounds, e.g. other
io-routines who can handle ull-ints?

Thanks in advance,
Joerg

use the %llu format specifier for unsigned long longs

Does your compiler support ULLs?

F:\Vijay\C> type ull.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <limits.h>

int
main ( void )
{
unsigned long long int ull;
printf ( "ULLONG_MAX: %llu\n", ULLONG_MAX );
printf ( "Enter an ull value: " );
scanf ( "%llu", &ull );
printf ( "\nThe ull value is: " );
printf ( "%llu", ull );
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

F:\Vijay\C> gcc -std=c99 -Wall
F:\Vijay\C> a.exe
ULLONG_MAX: 18446744073709551615
Enter an ull value: 18446744073709551614
The ull value is: 18446744073709551614

Damn! I used %ull instead of %llu. *embarrassed*

Thank you so much!
