Check 1-bit in a byte

TC

Hello all,

It has been some time working with the prop, and for the life of me I cant remember how to check 1-bit of a byte size value. For example; Lets say if bit0 of a byte is "1", then do some action.

I know once I am shown what I need to do, I will remember.

Thanks
TC

Look up the "and" and "test" instructions.

For specific examples we'll need to know what language you're using.

Specifically:

Use this formula
···· BitStatus := AnyVariable & (|< RequiredBitNumber)
