Answer 1

Hexadecimal IP Address to String IP

#include 
#include 
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    uint32_t ip = 0x0AA40001;
    string ip_str="";
    int temp = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++){
        if (i % 2 == 0)
        {
            temp += ip & 15;
            ip = ip >> 4;
        }
        else
        {
            stringstream ss;
            temp += (ip & 15) * 16;
            ip = ip >> 4;
            ss << temp;
            ip_str = ss.str()+"." + ip_str;
            temp = 0;
        }
    }
    ip_str.pop_back();
    cout << ip_str;
}

Output:10.164.0.1
