Assume I have a 1 source variable (int) which is 10 bits long. Let's call it src. I have 2 destination variables (int) which are 8 bits long namely byte1 and byte2. MSB LSB src 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 --- bit numbers 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 --- assigned bits value 814 What I would like to do is copy the first 8 bits from src to byte1 and the last 2 bits from src to the MSB of byte2 so byte1 and byte2 should contain the following: MSB LSB byte1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 --- bit numbers 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 value 203 I can do this with byte1 = src >> 2 which works perfectly as intended MSB LSB byte2 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 value 128 Where I am stuck is with byte2. I have tried creating a mask for the last 2 bits and ANDing the source and mask together and then ORing the extracted bits. Continue reading...
