How to do bitwise shift across several variables/array members?

[CuriousOne]

I'm thinking it in the following way (as example, 2 byte array, shifted to right)

1. Read both array bytes into variables A and B
2. Shift B right 1 bit
3. Add LSB from A as MSB to B
4. Shift A right
5. Write A and B back to array

Repeat as desired.


Correct?

Yes, assuming you really do want a shift and don't want to rotate the value shifted out of B back into the MSB of the array.
There's no need to copy the array bytes to A and B, but if it helps you keep it straight then go for it.
