    Audio Bitrate Calculation

    The output value should be 2.1 mb and not 2133337 mb ?


    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    
    static void file_size() {
        u_int32_t channels = 2;
        u_int32_t duration_in_second = 129;
        u_int32_t samples_per_second = 44100;
        u_int32_t kilobytes_per_second = 192;
    
    
        u_int64_t filesize_in_kilobytes = duration_in_second * kilobytes_per_second * samples_per_second * channels;
        
        printf("Audio File: %lld KB\n", filesize_in_kilobytes);
        printf("Audio File: %lld MB\n", filesize_in_kilobytes / 1024);
        return;
    }
    
    
    int main(int argc, const char *argv[]) {
        file_size();
        return 0;
    }
    
    
    #OUTPUT
    Audio File: 2184537600 KB
    Audio File: 2133337 MB

    > u_int32_t duration_in_second = 129;
    > u_int32_t kilobytes_per_second = 192;
    192 x 129 is never going to be 2.1MB

    Your calculation is plain wrong.
    channels * bytes per sample * samples per second * seconds.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    Your calculation is plain wrong.
    channels * bytes per sample * samples per second * seconds.
    Code:
    static void file_size() {
        u_int32_t channels = 2;
        u_int32_t duration_in_second = 129;
        u_int32_t samples_per_second = 44100;
        u_int32_t bytes_per_sample = 192 * 1024;
    
    
        u_int64_t filesize_in_bytes = channels * bytes_per_sample * samples_per_second * duration_in_second;
    
    
        printf("Audio File: %lld Bytes\n", filesize_in_bytes);
        return;
    }
    
    #OUTPUT
    Audio File: 3583508480 Bytes
    Certainly the value is not bytes ?

    bytes per sample is like 2 usually.

    This will overflow:
    Code:
    u_int64_t filesize_in_bytes = channels * bytes_per_sample * samples_per_second * duration_in_second;
    Example:
    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdint.h>
    #include <inttypes.h>
    
    uint64_t f( uint32_t a, uint32_t b, uint32_t c, uint32_t d )
    { return a * b * c * d; }
    
    uint64_t g( uint32_t a, uint32_t b, uint32_t c, uint32_t d )
    { return (uint64_t)a * b * c * d; }
    
    int main( void )
    {
      printf( "%" PRIu64 ", %" PRIu64 "\n",
        f( 2, 129, 44100, 192*1024 ),  
        g( 2, 129, 44100, 192*1024 ) );  
    }
    Results in:
    Code:
    $ cc -o test test.c
    $ ./test
    3583508480, 2236966502400
