Pointer Help

[ggraz]

I am trying to POINT to each byte in an array and pass that info along to the main, thus resulting in each byte being looped. I am getting the correct out put but the index where I need it, is not correct . I am new to C so please forgive me if I am missing something simple.

output should look like :

00 00 00 00 0 0
01 00 00 00 1 1 This would be @ index c_ptr[0]

at c_ptr[1] I would get

00 01 00 00 256 256
00 02 00 00 512 512

and so on , here is what I coded :

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>

void print_hex_signed_unsigned(int i)
{
  unsigned char* c_ptr = (char*)&i;
  printf( "The Value is:   %02X 00 00 00        %14d     %14u\n", c_ptr[0],i,i);
  printf( "The Value is:    00 %02X 00 00       %14d     %14u\n", c_ptr[1],i,i);
  printf( "The Value is:    00 00 %02X 00       %14d     %14u\n", c_ptr[2],i,i);
  printf( "The Value is:    00 00 00  %02X      %14d     %14u\n", c_ptr[3],i,i);
  
  
}
int main ()

{
     int i;
    int index;
    
    
    for (index = 0; index <256; index++)
        print_hex_signed_unsigned(index * 1);
        
    for (index = 0; index <256; index++)
        print_hex_signed_unsigned(index * 256);
        
    for (index = 0; index <256; index++)
        print_hex_signed_unsigned(index * 65536);
        
    for (index = 0; index <256; index++)
        print_hex_signed_unsigned(index * 16777216);
    
        
    getch();
    return(0);
    
    
}

Thank you everyone for all the help !!

How does what you get differ from what you want?

[ggraz]

The indexing is off on it . might have something with my printf formatting ?
I am getting all the data lined up in my first row

01 00 00 00 where this would be 1
01 00 00 00 and this is really 256

but it's all in row 1 , not letting me know that I was actually looping through the second bit

should be ordered 00 01 00 00 on the second bit

00 00 01 00 - third bit
00 00 00 01 - fourth bit

I hope this clears it up a bit ? I am very sorry if it does not , hard to express in words for someone new to C like myself. Thank you for the help though !

So here's what you've got: you pass in 0 to your function, it prints four lines:

The Value is: 00 00 00 00 0 0
The Value is: 00 00 00 00 0 0
The Value is: 00 00 00 00 0 0
The Value is: 00 00 00 00 0 0

You pass 1 into your function, it prints four lines:

The Value is: 01 00 00 00 1 1
The Value is: 00 00 00 00 1 1
The Value is: 00 00 00 00 1 1
The Value is: 00 00 00 00 1 1

and then 2, and then 3, and then 4, and then ....... and then 255, and then 0, and then 256, and then 512, and then ............. Did you want 0,0,0,0 then 1,256,65536,16M, etc? Then you need to have (a) your function only print one line and (b) one for loop that calls the function four times.
