Integer\\IP converter

Converts between integers and IPs

Just two functions I wrote that convert an IP to an integer or vice versa. Useful for inserting into databases as an int only needs four bytes whereas a text representation of an IP can need up to 15 .

This one converts from an integer into an IP.


And this does the reverse, converting an IP to an integer.

*wonders why you used powers rather than bitshifting.*

Nice and simple.
This is one of those really simple space saving methods that everyone seems to completely forget about.

I used powers instead of bitshifting because I couldn't work out how to force it as an unsigned int - as soon as I bitshifted 24 it made it negative because it was signed. So, powers were just easier in the end.

Your comment about negative numbers appearing in your integer inspired me to write a quick article on the way signed numbers are stored in a computer.

hope it helps! (particularly the comments on overflow)
