What is the proper expression for converting the Lat and Long data after you extract it from FSUIPC ?

I explain it in words in the SDK programmers guide -- the recently elaborated explanation should surely be clear enough? I don't give expressions as how to do it would be different in each language.

int lat;

float latitude,longitude;

int longi;

DWORD DwResult;

FSUIPC_Read(0x564, 4, &lat, &DwResult);

FSUIPC_Read(0x56c, 4, &longi, &DwResult);

FSUIPC_Process(&DwResult);

latitude=(float)((float)lat*90.0/10001750.0);

longitude=(float)((float)longi*(360.0/(65536.0*65536.0)));

if (longitude >180)

longitude=(float)(longitude-360.0);

float DegLat,FracDegLat,MinLat,SecLat;

FracDegLat=modff(fabs(latitude),&DegLat);

SecLat=modff(FracDegLat*60,&MinLat);

SecLat*=60;

float DegLon,FracDegLon,MinLon,SecLon;

FracDegLon=modff(fabs(longitude),&DegLon);

SecLon=floorf (SecLon);

char *message2,*message1;

WORD length;

message1=(char*)calloc (400,1);

message2=message1;

if (latitude>0&&longitude>0)

length=sprintf (message2, "AUTOPOS N%2.0fº %2.0f' %2.0f'' E%2.0fº

%2.0f' %2.0f'' \n", DegLat, MinLat,
