How can I add two byte[1] + byte[2]?

[merh]

Hi, I have two bytes which I need to obtain the sum of them. I have done like this but the result is wrong. int result = byte[1] + byte[2]; How can I do that? Thanks in advanced Merh

Sure? How did you check the result? Please post code, inputs and ouput. :)

I have an array of bytes. s below is my array and I try to read byte nr 0 and add to nr 1. for(int i=0; i<=1; i++) int result += s[i]; Thanks Merh

What are the values of s[0] and s[1]? What is the value of result produced by the code? What are you expecting result to be?

do you mean something similar to:

int i;
byte[] s ={ 10, 20 };
int result=0;
for (i = 0; i <= 1; i++)
result += s[i];

though inelegant, I see no error in the above. On the other hand, your code, ss it stands, doesn't even compile. :)

Yes, I mean something like this int i; byte[] s ={ 10, 20 }; int result=0; for (i = 0; i <= 1; i++) result += s[i];

Well it works fine on my system and since you have provided no inputs and no output I can only guess what is happening on yours. Should I turn ON my Code Project Mind Reader Unit?

Thanks it works now on my system too. /Mehran
