Question

The following takes two 8bit integers and combines them to generate a 14bit integer.

    public static int CombineBytes(int LSB, int MSB)
    {
        int _14bit;

        _14bit = MSB;
        _14bit <<= 7;
        _14bit |= LSB;

        return(_14bit);
    }

What would be the opposite process to this function?

For example if I supplied a function with a 14bit integer I would get two 8bit integers in the form of the most significant byte and the least significant byte?

Answer 1

Assuming you mean two 7 bit integers, you can get the high 7 bits by shifting 7 to the right high = combined >> 7 and the low 7 bits by masking with binary and low = combined & 0x7F.
