Hello,

I am trying to convert an IP address to it's eq. in base10
[homework]. However the outcome from the formula listed below isn't giving
me the right results.  Is this because I'm using the wrong precision type
for the `result' variable ? If that's the case what other precision type
should I use instead ? Right now I can't see the format tree's trhu the
precision forrest anmore .. ehum.

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
 int var1 = 192; 
 int var2 = 168;
 int var3 = 1;
 int var4 = 10;
 long int result = 0;

 result = var1 * (256 ^ 3) + var2 * (256 ^ 2) * var3 * 256 + var4; 
 printf("%ld\n", value);

 return 0;
}

Your comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated..

Thnks..!

J.
