Try:

  printf("long long NN = %16llx\n", NN);

For longs, long longs, etc. you should specify the correct length
modifier to printf, so the three lines quoted above should be
written as:

  printf("long int   N = %16xx\n", N);
  printf("long long NN = %16llx\n", NN);
  printf("long long NN = %lli\n",  NN);
