Hex to Decimal conversion in C
- by darkie15
Hi All,
Here is my code which is doing the conversion from hex to decimal. The hex values are stored in a unsigned char array:
int liIndex ;
long hexToDec ;
unsigned char length[4];
for (liIndex = 0; liIndex < 4 ; liIndex++)
{
length[liIndex]= (unsigned char) *content;
printf("\n Hex value is %.2x", length[liIndex]);
content++;
}
hexToDec = strtol(length, NULL, 16);
Each array element contains 1 byte of information and I have read 4 bytes. When I execute it, here is the output that I get :
Hex value is 00
Hex value is 00
Hex value is 00
Hex value is 01
Chunk length is 0
Can any one please help me understand the error here. Th decimal value should have come out as 1 instead of 0.
Regards,
darkie
