Thanks, I thought the cast would have told the compiler to reserve a storage space for a double. I suppose because I added the .0 to each of the values it know that they were floats/doubles?

However if I use the following it also gives an incorrect result.

Unsigned long long test = 0;

Test = (2482884 * 1024);
Printf("%llu\n",test);

I get 18446744071957057536 that is not wrapping but it certainly gives me the wrong answer?? Why would that happen?

Printf(“%f\n”,(double)(2482884 * 1024)); shows -1752494080.000000

Printf(“%f\n”,(2482884.0 * 1024.0)); shows 2542473216.000000

Printf(“%f\n”,((double)2482884 * (double)1024)); shows
2542473216.000000

It seems like the conversion to double does not work in the first
instance.
Am I doing something wrong? Shouldn’t the cast of the result make the
number correct?

2482884 * 1024 is 2,542,473,216 or in hex 0x978B1000. That is larger than the largest positive value that can fit in a signed integer (0x7FFFFFFF) so the value "wraps" and becomes negative.
