Ever needed to access individual bits of a value? It can be done with bitshifting and a sequence of logical &s quickly and easily. When finished, you will have a series of bit values that are only one bit in length.
//bit accesstest - using char as the source typestruct ByteBits{ unsigned bit0 : 1; unsigned bit1 : 1; unsigned bit2 : 1; unsigned bit3 : 1; unsigned bit4 : 1; unsigned bit5 : 1; unsigned bit6 : 1; unsigned bit7 : 1;};int main(){ ByteBits bittest; char value=170; //10101010 l-to-r in binary memcpy(&bittest,&value,1); //bittest.bit0->7 will be //0,1,0,1,0,1,0,1 respectively (the bits will be reversed //as that's how they are ordered in memory.)
