How to store a 64 bit integer in two 32 bit integers and convert back again

Question

I\'m pretty sure its just a matter of some bitwise operations, I\'m just not entirely sure of exactly what I should be doing, and all searches return back \"64 bit vs 32 bit

Answer 1

long x = 0xFEDCBA9876543210;
cout << hex << "0x" << x << endl;

int a = x ; 
cout << hex << "0x" << a << endl;
int b = (x >> 32);
cout << hex << "0x" << b << endl;
