If you click here you'll find ths question was already posted, here

long i = 12345;
char c = (char) i;

You will loss 3 most significant bytes of long variable.

You should provide better description of the problem, otherwise you can obtain senseless answer.

long i = 12345;

char c = (char) i;

The purpose of the program is to combine two variables with a comma ... so it works

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void setup() {

Serial.begin(115200);
}

void loop() {

char stringa[4];
stringa[0]= '3';
stringa[1]= '.';
stringa[2]= '4';

float coordinate ;
coordinate = atof(stringa);
Serial.println(coordinate);
}

I have two variables 'a' and 'b' where there are coordinates so long use variable variables, the purpose of the program is to combine variables a and b with a comma...
Instead when I go to insert the two variables "a" and "b" I no longer work and so I thought to convert "a" and "b" into two charitable char

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
long a ,b;
char c,d;
void setup() {
long lon;
Serial.begin(115200);
}

void loop() {
lon= 1400700529 ;
a =lon/1000000;
b = lon%1000000;

char stringa[4];
stringa[0]= a;
stringa[1]= '.';
stringa[2]= b;

float coordinate ;
coordinate = atof(stringa);
Serial.println(coordinate);
}

char stringa[4];
stringa[0]= '3';
stringa[1]= '.';
stringa[2]= '4';
strings[3]='\0';
