How convert unsigned int to unsigned char array

Tag: c++,c

I just need to extract those bytes using bitwise & operator. 0xFF is a hexadecimal mask to extract one byte. For 2 bytes, this code is working correctly:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    unsigned int i = 0x7ee;
    unsigned char c[2];

    c[0] = i & 0xFF;
    c[1] = (i>>8) & 0xFF;

    printf("c[0] = %x \n", c[0]);
    printf("c[1] = %x \n", c[1]);


    return 0;
}

output:

c[0] = ee;
c[1] = 7;

What should I do for 4 bytes to work correctly?

unsigned int i = 0x557e89f3;
unsigned char c[4];

my code:

unsigned char c[4];
         c[0] = i & 0xFF;
         c[1] = (i>>8) & 0xFF;
         c[2] = (i>>16) & 0xFF;
         c[3] = (i>>24) & 0xFF;
         printf("c[0] = %x \n", c[0]);
         printf("c[1] = %x \n", c[1]);
         printf("c[2] = %x \n", c[2]);
         printf("c[3] = %x \n", c[3]);

Best How To :

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    unsigned int i = 0x557e89f3;
    unsigned char c[4];

    c[0] = i & 0xFF;
    c[1] = (i>>8) & 0xFF;
    c[2] = (i>>16) & 0xFF;
    c[3] = (i>>24) & 0xFF;

    printf("c[0] = %x \n", c[0]);
    printf("c[1] = %x \n", c[1]);
    printf("c[2] = %x \n", c[2]);
    printf("c[3] = %x \n", c[3]);


    return 0;
}

Disadvantages of calling realloc in a loop

c,memory-management,out-of-memory,realloc

When you allocate/deallocate memory many times, it may create fragmentation in the memory and you may not get big contiguous chunk of the memory. When you do a realloc, some extra memory may be needed for a short period of time to move the data. If your algorithm does...

.cpp:23: error: cannot convert ‘std::string’ to ‘const char’ for argument ‘1’ to ‘int atoi(const char)’

c++,string

Use stoi, it's the modern C++ version of C's atoi. Update: Since the original answer text above the question was amended with the following error message: ‘stoi’ was not declared in this scope Assuming this error was produced by g++ (which uses that wording), this can have two different causes:...

dispatch response packet according to packet sequence id

c++,boost,boost-asio

You could use std::promise and std::future (or their boost counterparts if your are not yet on C++11). The idea is to store a std::shared_ptr<std::promise<bool>> with the current sequence id as a key in the map whenever a request is sent. In the blocking send function you wait for the corresponding...

C++ & Qt: Random string from an array area

c++,arrays,string,qt,random

You should use the random header. #include <random> std::default_random_engine generator; std::uniform_int_distribution dist(0, 5); int StringIndex = dist(generator); std::string ChosenString = characters[StringIndex]; The above will generate a random index into your array. If you want to limit the range, change the constructor of dist, for example (dist(0,2) would only allow for...

Strings vs binary for storing variables inside the file format

c++,file,hdf5,dataformat

Speaking as someone who's had to do exactly what you're talking about a number of time, rr got it basically right, but I would change the emphasis a little. For file versioning, text is basically the winner. Since you're using an hdf5 library, I assume both serializing and parsing are...

Implicit use of initializer_list

Your program is not ill-formed because <vector> is guaranteed to include <initializer_list> (the same is true for all standard library containers) §23.3.1 [sequences.general] Header <vector> synopsis #include <initializer_list> ... Searching the standard for #include <initializer_list> reveals the header is included along with the following headers <utility> <string> <array> <deque> <forward_list>...

How can I convert an int to a string in C++11 without using to_string or stoi?

c++,string,c++11,gcc

Its not the fastest method but you can do this: #include <string> #include <sstream> #include <iostream> template<typename ValueType> std::string stringulate(ValueType v) { std::ostringstream oss; oss << v; return oss.str(); } int main() { std::cout << ("string value: " + stringulate(5.98)) << '\n'; } ...

C++11 Allocation Requirement on Strings

c++,string,c++11,memory,standards

Section 21.4.1.5 of the 2011 standard states: The char-like objects in a basic_string object shall be stored contiguously. That is, for any basic_string object s, the identity &*(s.begin() + n) == &*s.begin() + n shall hold for all values of n such that 0 <= n < s.size(). The two...

Translating a character array into a integer string in C++

c++,arrays,string

If you want a sequence of int, then use a vector<int>. Using the key_char string, the values of the chars in it will serve as the initial value of the ints. std::vector<int> key_num(key_char.begin(), key_char.end()); Then, iterate over each character of key_num and convert it to the equivalent int value for...

Copy text and placeholders, variables to the clipboard

You're not using the function setText correctly. The canonical prototype is text(QString & subtype, Mode mode = Clipboard) const from the documentation. What you want to do is assemble your QString ahead of time and then use that to populate the clipboard. QString message = QString("Just a test text. And...

C++ template template

c++,templates

Your issue is that std::deque (and other standard containers) doesn't just take a single template argument. As well as the stored type, you can specify an allocator functor type to use. If you don't care about these additional arguments, you can just take a variadic template template and be on...

Change this: [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValTStr, SizeConst = 36)] private string iu; to this: [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPStr)] private string iu; Note that this code is good only to pass a string in the C#->C++ direction. For the opposite direction (C++->C#) it is more complex, because C# can't easily deallocate C++ allocated memory. Other important thing:...

I'm not saying that it cannot be done using scanf(), but IMHO, that's not the best way to do it. Instead, use fgets() to read the whole like, use strtok() to tokenize the input and then, based on the first token value, iterate over the input string as required. A...

How can I access the members of a subclass from a superclass with a different constructor?

Type function that returns a tuple of chosen types

c++,templates,c++11,metaprogramming

You can do this without recursion by simply expanding the parameter pack directly into a std::tuple: template<My_enum... Enums> struct Tuple { using type = std::tuple<typename Bind_type<Enums>::type...>; }; To answer your question more directly, you can declare a variadic primary template, then write two specializations: for when there are at least...

create vector of objects on the stack ? (c++)

c++,vector,heap-memory

Yes, those objects still exist and you must delete them. Alternatively you could use std::vector<std::unique_ptr<myObject>> instead, so that your objects are deleted automatically. Or you could just not use dynamic allocation as it is more expensive and error-prone. Also note that you are misusing reserve. You either want to use...
