Does anybody know, how one have to cast an operation correctly? And is it necessary to tell the compiler that a constant is unsined long
#define dword unsigned long unsigned char ucH; //hours unsigned char ucM; //minutes unsigned char ucS; //seconds dword ulTime; //Time in s GetTime(...); ulTime = ucS + ucM*60 + ucH*3600; [..]
ulTime = (dword)(ucS + ucM*60 + ucH*3600);
ulTime = ucS + (dword)ucM*60 + (dword)ucH*3600);
ucS and ucM are unsigned char, so they each have a maximum value of 255. 255 + 60 * 255 is 15555, well within the range of an int, so the constant sixty doesn't have to be an unsigned long. Ahhh. Yes. You are right about that. I noticed that the multiplication with 3600 would definitely be out of range and assumed that the multiplication with 60 would be as well (assuming that NOINTPROMOTE is used.) Jon
