"Spliting" data into two variables

[TH 113]

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int value, x, y;
int main()
{
cout << "Enter a 32bit value: ";
cin >> value;
}

Now I want to move the first 16bits of the value to variable x and the last 16bits to variable y. So if I enter 12345678 x = 1234 and y = 5678

Any way to do this?

This isnt so difficult. All you need t use is % operator

// perform a check to see if value is 32-bit
// else retuen an error

x = value%10000;  // supossing that you want to store the value in x and y

y = value/10000;

@crazzyguy101 I think he is talking about the hex values.

@TH 113

unsigned long value;

// input value

unsigned long x = (value >> 16) & 0xFFFF; // Most significant word
unsigned long y = value & 0xFFFF; // Least significant word

@crazzyguy101 I think he is talking about the hex values.

Oh is that the case ? I am sorry.

then i suppose the values in decimal will be value%(2^16) and value/(2^16), i guess...
