What's a Microcontroller Page 174 - ??

Hi.· I am new to this forum, so here goes my first question.
On page 174 of the "What's a Microcontroller?" book, I don't understand something.
In the "i" box, it says;

"The command HIGH 15 is really the same as OUT15 = 1 followed by DIR15 = 1.
"Likewise, the command LOW 15 is the same as OUT15 = 1 followed by DIR15 =1.· If you want to change P15 back to an input, use DIR15 = 0."

Am I missing something? Is this right?
Or is this a mistake in the book?
Both HIGH 15 and LOW 15 are the same as OUT15 =1 followed by DIR15 = 1?· I would have thought that LOW 15 is the same as OUT15 = 0 followed by DIR15 = 1.

Ron

    I don't have to book right here in front of me, but yes, from your description this would be a typo.

    Looking at the PDF version
    on page 178 This looks like a typo to me.

    RonG was presumably looking at What's a Microcontroller, vers 2.1 (page 174), and Beau Schwabe was looking at vers 2.2 (page 178).

    Ron,

    Yes, it's a typo; thanks for pointing it out.

    We'll add it to our list for the next revision.

    Oh, and yes, your assumption that LOW 15 is equivalent to OUT15 = 0 and DIR15 = 1 is correct.

    Regards, Andy
