7.6.5 Applying Offsets to Bits within a Variable or Register

[retepsnikrep]

I'm a bit confused by this so I'll pose my question.

I have a byte variable alias called "Config"

Using the offset bits technique can I manipulate bits by doing

Config.0[x] = 1

x being 0 to 7 in this case

The example in the manual uses a port alias for the demo.

Can x be another variable?

[Charles Linquis]

Yes, it can.

.....
Can x be another variable?

Did you mean "Variable" other than Byte in your case, or Value other than 0 ... 7 ?

[Charles Linquis]

It actually works both ways.

X var byte
y var byte
z var bit

X = %01010101

Y = 3
Z = X.0[Y]
Z = 0

Y = 4
Z = X.0[Y]
Z = 1

[sayzer]

x = 125
Config.0[x] = 1

?

Maybe bit 5? That is 0.

I don't understand the confusion.

X var byte
y var byte
z var bit

X = %01010101

Y = 3
Z = X.0[Y]
Z = 0


X is a variable, Y is a variable. Bit 3 of X is a '0'

Y = 4
Z = X.0[Y]
Z = 1

Bit 4 of X is 1
