Ttelmah,

As always thank you for the detail you put into your answers. I was perplexed as to why the variable solution was timing out while the "define" statement didn't. I know now. L ...

Thanks Jay I'm 63 and most of my time was spent tooling around with "basic". Was a signal officer in the army for 33 years building networks in the latter part of my career. Not much progr ...

I agree it can be a bit confusing. The issue with first starting out with learning this language is the barrage of obstacles that come to light when attempting to write a program. As one contemplates ...

I got it now. Did some research and figured it out. Thanks everyone for leading me in the right direction.

Ttelmah,

I read your reply again a little more closely. If I understand correctly you're saying don't use the variable solution if timing is a concern ( which it is). You then state that output_dri ...

Thanks I get the top part but confused about the define statement where you have (pin == 0) ?

I'm confused and respectfully request some help. I need to use a variable of pin B0 and D0 in my program to avoid duplication, but running into difficulties. Here is a short abstract pro ...

Hello,

I have another question:

What is the difference between these two statements:
int16 pin;

and
pin = PIN_B0
I thought that the define statement gives a name an ...

Very good explanation Jay, thank you for your time & effort.

But the result doesn't equal 557 ?

PCM Programmer,

I was hoping you could expand on your explanation. I'm trying to understand how this works?

What exactly is happening when "first" gets shifted left by 8 bits and ulti ...

Jay,

Noted and thank you.

PCM Programmer,

I now see what I did wrong. I appreciate the clarification.

Hello,

I respectfully ask for some assistance on connecting two 8 bit binaries into a 16 bit representation so that I get the correct placeholders for adding.

For example:

first = 00101101 = ...

Appreciate the follow-up. All good points to consider.
