Bitwise Left Shift

[Anthony9887]

I noticed that whenever I use the "<<" bitwise left shift operator. The result value is incorrect. The bitwise right shift is correct. Whats up with this? Any ideas? ie 49<<3 should be 136, but I get 392. Thanks

49*8 is 392. How are you calculating 136? --Mike-- Personal stuff:: Ericahist | Homepage Shareware stuff:: 1ClickPicGrabber | RightClick-Encrypt CP stuff:: CP SearchBar v2.0.2 | C++ Forum FAQ ---- You cannot stop me with paramecium alone!

I see what you have done. You need to AND with 255 to get the answer. Ant.

I assume he is taking it as 8bits and therefore the top bit falls off the end! ;) Ant.

one time right shift is like divide with 2 and one time left shift is like multiple wiht 2. So How can you find 136 result

Then you should be shifting an 8bit variable, like 'unsigned char'. You are probably shifting 'int' or something. Or cut it to 8 bits with AND 255
