Question

I am trying to solve a problem that has to do with bit representation and it has certain limits, as to what kind of controls and the amount that I can use for this particular problem. These controls linclude:

Using if, do, while, for, switch, etc.

defining additional functions

calling any functions

using any form of casting

using operations such as &&, ||, -, or ?:

using any data type other than int

defining or using macros

My goal is to replace the "return" statement in each function with one or more lines of c code that implements the function.

getByte - Extract byte  n from word x

Bytes numbered from 0 (LSB) to 3 (MSB)

Examples: getByte(0x12345678, 1) =0x56

legal operands: !, ~,&, ^, |, +, <<, >>

Max operations: 6

int getByte(int x, int n){

return

}

I have tackled this problem in many ways but difficult to come to solution. What could I be missing?

Explanation / Answer

Try to use

return getByte(x>>(4*n), n++);
