Declaring variables in c++

[mickey22]

Hi all,

I have a value calculated from a member function of a class and assigned it to variable in my project say

unsigned short int var1=a.inf( ); since inf ( ) returns unsigned short int

Now I have to use this value var1 to calculate another variable var2 which should be uint64 as I have to pass this var2 to another function.

In order to make them compatible I can typecast var1,convert into uint64 and use it, but I lose the data.Could you please suggest me if there is any way to do this without typecasting and not losing any data.

Thanks.

Hi Perhaps you could post the code where you use a typecast and loose the data.

I am sorry I did not get you what u meant.

You say:

What part of that does not make sense?
