Question

I am trying to get the upper 4 bits of a Byte.

That is my attempt so far:

function Upper4Bits(const X : Byte): Byte;
type 
   BS = set of 0..7;
var 
   K : Byte; Q: BS;
begin
  Q := [];
  for K := 0 to 3 do {is it right? upper?}
    {what i need here?}
    Include(Q, {what i put here});

  Upper4Bits := Byte(Q)
end;

Thanks In Advance.

According to your comment to kotlinski’s answer, you want result := (byte1 and $F0) or (byte3 and $0F).
