[expr.unary.op] The operand of ~ shall have integral or unscoped enumeration type; the result is the one’s complement of its operand. Integral promotions are performed. [expr.shift] The shift operators << and >> group left-to-right. […] The operands shall be of integral or unscoped enumeration type and integral promotions are performed. What’s the integral promotion of uint8_t … Read more
As you are probably aware, ints are stored internally in binary. Typically an int contains 32 bits, but in some environments might contain 16 or 64 bits (or even a different number, usually but not necessarily a power of two). But for this example, let’s look at 4-bit integers. Tiny, but useful for illustration purposes. … Read more
The primary reason, you cannot do bitwise operation on a void *, but you can do the same on a intptr_t. On many occassion, where you need to perform bitwise operation on an address, you can use intptr_t. However, for bitwise operations, best approach is to use the unsigned counterpart, uintptr_t. As mentioned in the … Read more
It’s true that DOS doesn’t offer us a function to output a number directly. You’ll have to first convert the number yourself and then have DOS display it using one of the text output functions. Displaying the unsigned 16-bit number held in AX When tackling the problem of converting a number, it helps to see … Read more
