#84725 - Multiplication Problems and data types
Hi, I am having problems with a calculation in the keil evaluation software. i cannot use floating point numbers since it is an evaluation version. My first problem is trying to convert the timers values into a 16-bit number and output to screen. I am trying to do the following:

totcount=(timehi * 256) + timelo;

where i am assigning totcount as an unsigned int, timehi and timelo as an unsigned char and 256 as an int.

if:
timehi = 239
timelo = 0

when i output to screen, 'totcount' keeps giving me -4348 when the answer should be 61184 (decimal).

Does anybody know what i am doing wrong!
