Thread: short and long int

Hi,

How should I let the short int divide the long int and return the float?

Code:

#include <stdio.h>

void main() {
	short int __x;
	long int y;
	float z;
	__x = 55h;
	y = 60L;
	z = (float)__x / (float)y;
	printf("Hello world.\nPeter John and Tom.\n");
	printf("%h + %l = %.2f.\n", __x,y,z);
}

It shows the following errors:

syntax error : 'bad suffix on number'
syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'h'
'h' : undeclared identifier

The 'h' is not required. The z was being assigned correctly but printf was causing the problem. If by h you mean hex then __x = 0x55.

Code:

  short int __x;
  long int y;
  float z;
  __x = 55;
  y = 60L;
  z = (float)__x / (float)y;
  printf("%d + %ld = %.2f\n", __x,y,z);

thanks for your help
