Thread: adding 16bit and 32 bit integers

Hi all

How would i go about creating a function to add 2 16bit and 2 32bit integers together and return a long integer result. i dont even know where to start. Please help

Code:

long foo(short a, short b, long c, long d)
{
   return a+b+c+d;
}

I guess the above is what you mean? There is no guarentee that sizeof(short) = 16 bits or sizeof(long) = 32 bits, but they are that size on *nix and MS-windows.
