Convert array of Bits to Byte - "design.wonk" - May 6 23:42:29 2008
I have an array of three bits (based on an object being in range on a
combination of three IR sensors). Is there a graceful way to convert
this 3-bit array to a single byte value? I have written a function
that returns a value of 0 to 7 based on the status of the bits in the
array, but it uses a long and awkward series of If Then Else looping.
I was wondering if there is a simpler way to do this with version 6.1.
thanks

v = bit1 * 4 + bit2 * 2 + bit3 ?

Wow, that was so logical. I guess that I was thinking that it had to
be more complicated.
thanks

if you want it faster:
dim v as oByte
v = bit1;
v.Lshift(1);
v = v Or bit2;
v.Lshift(1);
v = v Or bit3;

Yes,
That is the way that I had seen it done before - but I couldn't
remember exactly how it was done.

Why do you think it will be faster?
