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 0xf
covers exactly four bits. There are four nibbles in a 16-bit number. The masks for the nibbles are 0xf000
, 0xf00
, 0xf0
, and 0xf
. Then start masking, shifting and bitwise OR-ing.
