From: "Walter Szewelanczyk" <Walter@adco.com> To: java-interest@java.sun.com Date: Mon, 5 Feb 1996 02:12:11 +0000 Hi all, I have yet another foolish question, integer big = 0; byte little = -112; big |= little; big still shows a value of -112 instead of 144. Why?? I asumed that the |= was a binary "inclusive or" operator. I also assumed that the << left shift would shift over everything including the sign bit but if I do the folowing integer big = 0; byte little = -1; big |= little; big <<=8; The big ends up with -256. Which I suppose would make sense since it appears to keep the sign of little when oring with big. It also appears that I cannot create an "unsigned" int or byte so I am not sure how to do what i need to do. Thanks in advance, Walt ******************************************************************************************** Walter Szewelanczyk Technical Director Walter@adco.com NET VENTURE, Inc. http://www.adco.com "One must stay in a very RIGID state of FLEXABILITY" ******************************************************************************************** - This message was sent to the java-interest mailing list Info: send 'help' to java-interest-request@java.sun.com
