What does this line mean?

What does this C++ line mean?

bool bBoolean = (0!=(nInteger&0 x08));

I don't understand the nInteger&0x08 bit.
Thanks,

Valentina

bBoolean is true, if nInteger's 4th LSB is set.
' bool bBoolean = ( 0 != (nInteger & 0x08)); '

spacing surely helps sometimes to understand code beter.

I don't understand the nInteger&0x08 bit.

Google for 'bitwise operators' .

Thanks,

Valentina

// I like to separate operands and operators
bool bBoolean = (0 != (nInteger & 0x08));

'&' is the bitwise AND operator


// 00010111 = 23 in binary | 00011000 = 24 in binary
// & 00001000 = 8 in binary | & 00001000 = 8 in binary
// ---------- | ----------
// 00000000 = 23 & 8 ( == 0 ) | 00001000 = 24 & 8 ( != 0 )
that line is testing nInteger's fourth bit from the left;
if it's 0 bBoolean will be false, if it's 1 bBoolean will be true.

What makes a good C/C++ programmer? Would you be surprised if I told you that it has almost nothing to do with your knowledge of C or C++? There isn't much difference in productivity, for example, between a C/C++ programmers with a few weeks of experience and a C/C++ programmer with years of experience. You don't really need to understand the subtle details or use the obscure features of either language
