QDataStream writing wrong values

[alok9871]

Hi

I wish to write something onto a data file. I thought of using QDataStream, but it tens to give me wrong output.

QFile file("file.dat");
 file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly);
 QDataStream out(&file);
 out.setByteOrder(QDataStream::LittleEndian);
 //out << QString("the answer is");   // serialize a string
 int x = 54;
 out << (qint32)x;
 out.device()->close();

QFile file("file.dat");
 file.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly);
 QDataStream out(&file);
 out.setByteOrder(QDataStream::LittleEndian);
 //out << QString("the answer is");   // serialize a string
 int x = 54;
 out << (qint32)x;
 out.device()->close();

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

I was expecting an output of 54. Itself it shouwing me its char value = 6; even with other numbers.

Please let me know how to address this problem

Thanks
