c program usind bitwise operators

19 New Member
Hi all

Any one of you would give me small c program using bitwise operators to below given statement.

A function setbits(x,p,n,y ) that returns x with the n bits that begin at position p set to the rightmost n bits of an unsigned char variable y (leaving other bits unchanged).

For ex:

if x = 10101010 (170 decimal) and y = 10100111 (167 decimal) and n = 3 and p = 6 say then you need to strip off 3 bits of y (111) and put them in x at position 10xxx010 to get answer 10111010.

Your output should be like this:

x = 10101010 (binary)
y = 10100111 (binary)
setbits n = 3, p = 6 gives x = 10111010 (binary)

Reply soon as early as possible if you know.

Thank you.

Thank you.
Better to attempt it first and then post if you have problems with writing code.

I have a question regarding bitwise operators, I've been trying to figure this out for about two days now, and I just can't seem to get it. What I'm trying to do is use a variable to hold a bitmask of 'flags' for users on a website. The function below is supposed to be a search function for one of those flags in a particular thing. The idea is that when something calls userId(), it should get to see what type of user flags that are...

Why would one use bitwise operators? I can program in various languages in some shape or form (C++, PHP, some scripting) and I've heard/seen bitwise operators before, but never understood why anyone would use them - any real world examples or ideas? Examples follow (that I am reading in my Core JavaScript Guide 1.5). 15 & 9 yields 9 (1111 & 1001 = 1001) 15 | 9 yields 15 (1111 | 1001 = 1111) 15 ^ 9 yields 6 (1111 ^ 1001 = 0110) in...

As a beginning student of C++, books reference "bitwise operators" and give brief examples, but I have not read a good explanation of what they are used for. One reference mentioned that they are used in hardware programming. Are they used very often in routine C/C++ programming, and what for? thanks, MJH

I'm trying to compute the absolute value of an integer using only bitwise operators... int x; sscanf( "%d", &x ); printf( "%d\n", (x^((~((x>>31)&1))+1)) + ((x>>31)&1) ); That works, but it assumes 32 bit integers. Is there a portable/standard way to do this? Or are ANSI integers always 32 bits? If not, is using sizeof(int) * 8 - 1 as the shift value an acceptable alternative?

The basic understanding of what bitwise operators (& ^ | >> << ) comes fairly simple, as long as one has a fundamental understanding of bits, bytes and binary. Having done some Win32 programming in straight C, the Win32 API sends windows messages to applications with various settings stored in bit fields, in which case changing the settings of the message is a matter of using the bitwise operators. This was a good practical example of...

Hi, This isn't *specifically* an ASP.NET question, so I've also posted it in the ADO.NET group - however, it's not too far off-topic... Imagine a SQL Server 2005 database with a table with an int column used for bitwise data - you know the sort of thing... 0, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 etc intBitwise strName ----------------------

Anyone with me here? (I know the deadline for P3 PEPs has passed; this is just talk.) Not many people are bit-fiddling these days. One of the main uses of bit fields is flags, but that's not often done in Python because of keyword arguments and dicts, which are lot more versatile. Another major use, talking to hardware, is not something oft done in Python either. It seems like this occasional usage wouldn't justify having built-in...

Hi to all, How the individual digits of a number can be obtained using the bitwise operators alone.Is it possible to do it ? If we have n = 34 Result has to be 3,4. Thanks a billion for your reply in advance.

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
