Hi, I'm beginner C programmer, i have a problem, i want to store some information in a integer, a integer will be 32 bit on my machine, i want to have as follow: 6 bit (information 1) MSB 4 bit (information 2) 8 bit (information 3) 5 bit (information 4) 9 bit (information 5) LSB For example i set the informations as follow (in decimal): information 1 = 43 or 101011 information 2 = 11 or 1011 information 3 = 120 or 1111000 information 3 = 30 or 11110 information 4 = 418 or 110100010 if i join all informations i should get a 32 bit integer valued 2935782212 or 01010111011111100011110110100010, then my problem is how to retrieve these informations on bit operation? i want to know what's the value of information-2 or information-3, etc directly. And, is there any good way to join these informations to be an 32 bit integer? at this time i convert the 32bit integer into binary string, process it's with array segment to get all informations then convert them to integer, to build the 32bit integer, i join all information value into binary string (yes, 32 bit of char ;p) join all of them then convert to integer. I know my way is sucks and too far away from COOL thing ;p, i think there are cool way to do this!.
