using the function "getaddrinfo()" to get the IP address from the hostname you provided;

actually , the "getadrinfo()" function can get not only the IP address,but also more information about hostname,it's pretty useful,
especially for socket programing;

Below is my program to parsing the IP address you wanted;and it's for both ipv4 and ipv6;

#include <Winsock2.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
#include<ws2tcpip.h>

#pragma     comment(lib, "ws2_32.lib ")  //linking to the library

using namespace std;

int main(){

 WORD wVersionRequested;
 WSADATA wsaData;
 int err;

 cout<<"this is the UDP server"<<endl;

//******************//

the flowing text is to match the version of the library and to initialize the library, it's necessary for socket programing;

//*********************//

 wVersionRequested = MAKEWORD( 1, 1 );

 err = WSAStartup( wVersionRequested, &wsaData );//initiate the ws2_32.dll and match the version
 if ( err != 0 ) {
  return 0;
 }

 if ( LOBYTE( wsaData.wVersion ) != 1 ||   //if the version is not matched ,then quit and terminate the ws3_32.dll
  HIBYTE( wsaData.wVersion ) != 1 ) {
   WSACleanup( );
   return 0;
 }
