(this stuff up here is barely useful blither)
The purpose of your function:
Sha256.write((char *)bytearray);
I believe is to write more data to the running hash. (from this) Therefore, I am not sure in the context of your question how to convert this to a hex-string char back? how this relates to the way you are using it.
Let me offer another approach for the sake of illustrating how you might go about returning the array of ints back into the form of a "hexadecimal string":
Here is a code fragment that will calculate the digest for the string "abc"
SHA256_CTX ctx;
u_int8_t results[SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH];
char *buf;
int n;
buf = "abc";
n = strlen(buf);
SHA256_Init(&ctx);
SHA256_Update(&ctx, (u_int8_t *)buf, n);
SHA256_Final(results, &ctx);
/* Print the digest as one long hex value */
printf("0x");
for (n = 0; n < SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH; n++)
printf("%02x", results[n]);
putchar('\n');
resulting in:
"0xba7816bf8f01cfea414140de5dae2223b00361a396177a9cb410ff61f20015ad".
In this example The array I believe you want, is contained in u_int8_t results
There is not enough description in your post to be sure this will help, let me know in the comments, and I will try to address further questions.
Added after your edit:
Continuing from the example above, to put the array contents of results
back into a string, you can do something like this:
char *newString;
newString = malloc(sizeof(char)*SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH*2);
memset(newString, 0, sizeof(char)*SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH*2);
strcat(newString, "0x");
for(i=0;i<SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH;i++)
{
sprintf(newString, "%s%02x\n", newString, results[i]);
}
//use newString for stuff...
free(newString);
Addressing your code, and your question directly:
Your code block:
for(_batchSize = 100000; _batchSize > 0; _batchSize--){
bytearray[76] = _batchSize;
Sha256.write((char *)bytearray); //here are the error
}
is not necessary if all you want to do is to convert an array of int
into a "hexadecimal string"
Your int array, defined as:
int bytearray[80];
Already contains all the necessary values at this point, as you illustrated with your latest edit. If you want to return this data to a "hexadecimal string" form, then this will do that for you: (replacing result
with your bytearray
)
char *newString;
newString = malloc(sizeof(char)*SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH*2);//if these defines are not in your environment
memset(newString, 0, sizeof(char)*SHA256_DIGEST_LENGTH*2);//then replace them with appropriate value for length
strcat(newString, "0x");
for(i=0;i<sizeof(bytearray)/sizeof(bytearray[0]);i++)
{
sprintf(newString, "%s%02x\n", newString, bytearray[i]);
}
//use newString for stuff...
free(newString);
