How to swap the nibble bit positions of a number?
For example: 534, convert it into binary, the rightmost 4 bits has to be interchanged with the leftmost 4 bits and then make a new number with that.
Anyone know how to do this?

Start from the fact that hexadecimal
0xfcovers exactly four bits. There are four nibbles in a 16-bit number. The masks for the nibbles are0xf000,0xf00,0xf0, and0xf. Then start masking, shifting and bitwise OR-ing.
