That depends on what you mean by ‘first’. Given a number, such as
0xdeadbeef, would you consider0xdeador0xbeefto be ‘first’?If the former, divide the number by 65536 (as an integer). If the latter, compute the modulus to 65536.
This is of course also doable with binary operators such as shift/and, I’m just not sure sure how to express that in your desired language. I’m sure there will be other answers with more precise details.
