How do you format an unsigned long long int using printf?

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
    unsigned long long int num = 285212672; //FYI: fits in 29 bits
    int normalInt = 5;
    printf("My number is %d bytes wide and its value is %ul. A normal number is %d.\n", sizeof(num), num, normalInt);
    return 0;
}

Output:

My number is 8 bytes wide and its value is 285212672l. A normal number is 0.

I assume this unexpected result is from printing the unsigned long long int. How do you printf() an unsigned long long int?

Solution 1:

Use the ll (el-el) long-long modifier with the u (unsigned) conversion. (Works in windows, GNU).

printf("%llu", 285212672);

Solution 2:

%d--> for int

%u--> for unsigned int

%ld--> for long int or long

%lu--> for unsigned long int or long unsigned int or unsigned long

%lld--> for long long int or long long

%llu--> for unsigned long long int or unsigned long long
