C :: Bitwise Operations On 2 Bytes In A Buffer Then Storing Result In Variable
Oct 30, 2014
I'm doing a bitwise operations on 2 bytes in a buffer, then storing the result in a variable. However, I sometimes get a non-zero value for the variable even though I'm expecting a zero value. The relevant portion of the code is as follows.
Code:
unsigned int result = 0;
long j = 0, length;
unsigned char *data;
data = (unsigned char *)malloc(sizeof(unsigned char)*800000);
[Code] ....
I'm expecting result to be zero when my data[j] and data[j+1] are 0xb6 and 0xab respectively, which is the case for most of the time. However, for certain values of j, my result is strangely not zero.
Code:
j = 62910, result = 64
j = 78670, result = 64
j = 100594, result = 64
j = 165658, result = 512
j = 247990, result = 128
j = 268330, result = 512
j = 326754, result = 1
j = 415874, result = 256
j = 456654, result = 1024
j = 477366, result = 512
It appears that these strange result values are all powers of 2, with a 1 bit appearing somewhere in the unsigned int.
I'm not changing the value of result anywhere else in the code, and when I print out

I'm not changing the value of result anywhere else in the code, and when I print out (unsigned int)(((data[j]^0xb6)<<8)|(data[j+1]^0xab)), I get 0, but somehow when it gets stored in result, it's no longer zero.
Trying to write 4 bytes ints in a binary file and extract them after... I'm using the exclusive or (^) to isolate single bytes to write to and extract from the file since the write() function accepts only chars, only the beginning and end results are not the same...
So i'm creating bank system. Where I have function that reads the text file (balance), and I make a deposit, which adds what was in the balance = deposit + balance.
But this is what is happening. In my text file i have number 10. Function balance works fine and reads 10 from the text file.
When I make a deposit add a value to the balance, if i add 7, the new balance is 17. And i check the text file shows me is 17. Which is correct.
The problem is here. If i make another deposit, without closing the program, for example i add 5 to the balance, the new balance should be 22 = 17(balance) + 5(deposit), because 17 was store on the text file and it was the balance that was store on the text file on the last time. But it shows me 15, it adds the balance that the program first started which was 10(balance) + 5(deposit), but should had had be 17 + 5.
When I close the program the value on the text file, is 15, that was the last sum that i did.

I know with such a tiny and insignificant class the dll export seems pointless but this class is actually intended to be a .lib ONLY. But it is derived from by .dll style classes, and through inheritance this error is the exact same as what appears in the derived class, I just imagine that the cut down version would be easier to work with.
Is it possible to hold either a static variable in a dll which is of a dynamic type, OR would it be possible to reference an external variable which is static throughout the instances and this variable can be chucked away in a namespace of mine somewhere?
I suppose my only other option (if this is possible) would be to define a maximum instance number and create a standard array of pointers but this could both waste so much memory when not in use and cause problems if I need more memory.
So, I think that the above expression converts to 0x49 | 0x00 ... and the complete expression should be 0x49 for me.
But, the compiler gives me the result of 0x4949 as two bytes.How does the compiler calculate this expression as two bytes?show me the steps included in the calculation of this expression?
How to do this program i can easily do it in a simple for loop but i have to do this program with the following directions:
1. Write a function called bitN() that returns the value of bit N in number, where number is the first parameter, and N is the second. Assume N of the least significant bit is zero and that both parameters are unsigned int's. (A simple one-liner will suffice)
2. Write a main() function that uses bitN() to convert a decimal integer into its binary equivalent. Obtain the integer to convert from the first command-line argument.
3. Use the expression unsigned int numBits = sizeof(unsigned int)*CHAR_BIT; to get the number of bits in an unsigned int. (Include limits.h to get the definition for CHAR_BIT.)
what order a CPU would process the following arithmetic problem: 5 - (-9) = 14? Would the CPU recognize that the 'minus a minus' combination simply represents 5 + 9, and proceed with that addition, or would the CPU have to first calculate the 2's complement of -9, and then proceed to take the 2's complement of that first result in order to complete the calculation of the addition of the 'double negative'?
1.The operands from << and >> may be any of integer type (including char) The integer promotions are performed on both operands the result has the type of the left operand after promotion.
It means that if we have z = x >> y then sizeof(z) == sizeof(x) ?
2. The ~ operator is unary the integer promotions are performed on its operand.
So if I have short int y; and int x=1; y = ~x what is the meaning here?
I have a project assignment for school to write a program that does number conversions using bitwise operators. The premise is that the user enters a number with one of three letter prefixes -- Q1232, O6322, H762FA, etc. -- and the program will take that number and convert it to the other two number bases. Q is for quarternary, O is for octal, and H is for hexadecimal. The transformations should be done using bitwise operators and bit shifting. I am guessing I need to scan the number, convert it to binary, then convert it to the other two bases.
However, I am completely new to bitwise operators and bit shifting, so how to convert numbers of different bases to binary and then binary to other bases using these bit and bitwise functions. I don't have much code done yet, since I am still unsure of how to approach it, but I'll post what little I have.
Here it is:
#include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> int main() { char numType; printf(" The user will enter a number up to 32 digits in quarternary "); printf("(base 4), octal (base 8), or hexadecimal (base 16). If in ");
[Code] ....
I figure in each case I can write a function that converts the entered number to binary, then maybe two more functions that convert said binary number to the other bases. For default in the switch I will tell the user they entered an invalid number. I don't have the program looping until the user types 'EXIT' yet, but I will once I figure out anything about these bitwise operators.
I have a 32 bit integer variable with some value (eg: 4545) in it, now I want to read first 8 bits into uint8_t and second 8 bits into another uint8_t and so on till the last 8 bits.
And while moving the bits till the size of the integer, it fills the LSB with 0's and as 1 crosses the limit of integer, i was expecting the output to be 0.
In a .h file there is a function that takes in this parameter:
void (^callback)(float * arg)=NULL
as in a function definition:
void func(void (^callback)(float * arg)=NULL);
What I am able to read is that it takes a function pointer and if not defined it overrides with NULL. The part I do not get is the ^ in (^callback). I only know ^ as a bitwise XOR operator. It also generates issues in my VS2012 compiler (something with CLR). So I would really like to rewrite this part to something else, without the bitwise operator...
So I think I am having syntactical problem with my code.
Code: int main() { vector<int> ivec; int score; [Code] ....
I get an error from my compiler on the ?10th? line (Nested condition line) that says |19|error: invalid operands of types 'int' and '<unresolved overloaded function type>' to binary 'operator<<'|
The purpose of the program is to take input and store it in a vector and then change the value to be between 1-6. I made this for the purpose of learning about nested conditional operations.
If i do run the above program in turbo C/C++ complier, it outputs "h". But,if i change the code as i=0.6 and if (i<0.6), it outputs "w". Even if i change it to i=0.8 and if(i<0.8), then also it outputs "w".
I've been thinking over this for long time... For example, when a button is clicked, print a string "clicked" after 5 seconds. (the button won't be blocked)
when I input the character which is the underscore, and the row # it should display the table and sort that specific row. Why is the if statement skipped? This is not the complete program but has everything needed.
