I'm confused. Back when I was in school, the instructor would talk (in depth) about a given topic (e.g., drawing on the board, pseudo code) and then give us an assignment based on that topic. Are you wanting us to believe that your instructor has given you an assignment without first having shown you what a B+ tree is? Confused | :confused:

Converting unsigned short int to its hex representation

Then you have a lot to learn about how this forum works. People come here hourly thinking they can dump a general question about a detailed subject, and then expect a detailed reply. Last time I checked, most of the folks that help out here work for a living and help out when they have time and/or knowledge. Why would a sane person want to type paragraph after paragraph about the study and implementation of something as involved as B+ trees when they could simply point you to already existing articles?

Hello,
i ran into a bit of trouble when converting unsigned short int to its hex string representation. What i need is a two byte representation with a space between the bytes (e.g "0f 43" for 3907 of "00 ff" for 255)

The solution i came up with is the following:

unsigned char* CreateHexValues(unsigned short int inValue)
{
char Hex[5] = {0, 0, 0, 0, 0};
_itoa_s(inValue, Hex, 16);

unsigned char *hexOut = new unsigned char[5];
hexOut[2] = ' ';

if(inValue <= 15)
{
hexOut[0] = '0';
hexOut[1] = '0';
hexOut[3] = '0';
hexOut[4] = Hex[0];
}
else if(inValue > 15 && inValue <= 255)
{
hexOut[0] = '0';
hexOut[1] = '0';
hexOut[3] = Hex[0];
hexOut[4] = Hex[1];
}
else if(inValue > 255 && inValue <= 4095)
{
hexOut[0] = '0';
hexOut[1] = Hex[0];
hexOut[3] = Hex[1];
hexOut[4] = Hex[2];
}
else if (inValue > 4096)
{
hexOut[0] = Hex[0];
hexOut[1] = Hex[1];
hexOut[3] = Hex[2];
hexOut[4] = Hex[3];
}
return hexOut;
}
So my question is: is there a better/quicker way to do that? The problem is that when i convert it with _itoa_s it could be in the following formats: f43, 43, 3 (depending on inValue) without any zeros in front of it. Another problem is with the Hex[5] array, my inValue can never be bigger than 65535, but for some reason i get an assertion failure when i change its size to Hex[4] which should be enough for 65535. Why could that be?

Thanks for all replies in advance

A simpler way is to use the one of the xprintf() type functions. Take a look here[^] at the x and X format specifiers.

I would do

void CreateHexValues(unsigned short inValue, char hexOut[6])
{
  sprintf(hexOut, "%02x %02x", (inValue >> 8), (inValue & 0xFF) );
}

Shouldn't it be hexOut[6] to make room for the \0 character?

How about something like:

char szBuffer[10];
short value = 1234;
sprintf(szBuffer, "%02X %02X", HIBYTE(value), LOBYTE(value));

I don't know if you understand but your question is rather.... hum no question at all. its actually an order... a very lazy one

Why don't you try Google it!!! Its much easier and faster than waiting an answer here. Don't you think that no-one so far needed to communicate with a printer from C++? I doubt it.

here is what i found in 1 min....

Hi,

Nobody will want to do your work. So, search the internet, do some research and reach a stage where you'd have specific issues. You could then come here for help.

Until then,

//stuff goes here
}
