I have a count register, which is made up of two 32-bit unsigned integers, one for the higher 32 bits of the value (most significant word), and other for the lower 32 bits of the value (least significant word).

What is the best way in C to combine these two 32-bit unsigned integers and then display as a large number?

In specific:

leastSignificantWord = 4294967295; //2^32-1

printf("Counter: %u%u", mostSignificantWord,leastSignificantWord);

This would print fine.

When the number is incremented to 4294967296, I have it so the leastSignificantWord wipes to 0, and mostSignificantWord (0 initially) is now 1. The whole counter should now read 4294967296, but right now it just reads 10, because I'm just concatenating 1 from mostSignificantWord and 0 from leastSignificantWord.

How should I make it display 4294967296 instead of 10?

I keep stumbling on the format specifiers for the printf() family of functions. What I want is to be able to print a double (or float) with a maximum given number of digits after the decimal point. If I use: printf("%1.3f", 359.01335); printf("%1.3f", 359.00999); I get 359.013 359.010 Instead… >>> More

i have been trying this code. i think the logic is ok but the program terminates abruptly when the display_rev function is called here is code of display_rev void display_rev(emp_node *head) { emp_node *p=head, *q; while(p->next != NULL) p=p->next; while(p!=head || p==head){ … >>> More
