Error saying Error in sprintf x 2151028214 invalid format x use format f e g or a for numeric objects

Question

I'm trying to convert dec to hex using sprintf and i'm facing an error:

>  sprintf("%x",2109440182)
[1] "7dbb80b6"
>  sprintf("%x",2151028214)
Error in sprintf("%x", 2151028214) :
  invalid format '%x'; use format %f, %e, %g or %a for numeric objects

Answer 1

gcc : format ‘%x’ expects an argument of type ‘unsigned int’, but argument 2 has type ‘long int’.

The number is larger that an unsigned int. Max range in my system is 2147483648,

Try it in the following way:

printf("%x\n", 2147483647);
