| Array concatenation |
 Posted: Wed Oct 06, 2004 4:14 am |

Is there any way to concatenate for example 2 bytes array to 1 variable?
Say:
BYTE array[2];
int Var; //2 bytes
I want to write the whatever in the array into the Var.
Thank you

Use a union
| Code: |
union my_union {
int 16 var;
int8 array[2];
} my_union_variable; |

int16 and int8
are not recognized for some reason
and also cannot make a variable more than 8 bits.
it does recognize 'long', but the variable is still 8 bits

ok - so int8 and int16 are not defined.
how do you know the long variable is only 8 bits? Are you sure you aren't running into a typecast problem? |

A long is a 16 bit variable |

Your version must be old as dirt!
| Code: |
typedef uint8_t int;
typedef int18_t signed int;
typedef uint16_t long;
typedef int16_t signed long;

What version of the compiler did you say you were using?
We are trying to help,.. but the assignment is easy. and we don't understand the problem?
int8 array[2];
int16 Var;
Var=make16(array[0],array[1]); //whatever order you want
I think the problem is the compiler version or the watch window.
(ps i think its the watch window)

Here is a little test progrm. in watch window put in addr,h tmp,h
the ",h" displays it in hex digits,.. 4 bits per 1 hex digit
btw. I used 3.212 compiler
| Code: | #include <16F877.h>
#device *=16
#CASE
#use delay(clock=16000000)
#fuses HS,NOWDT,NOPROTECT,NOLVP
#define VER_MAJOR 1
#define VER_MINOR 00
#define INTS_PER_MIN_TMR2 3660
#zero_ram
#use rs232(baud=57600,xmit=PIN_A2,INVERT,stream=DEBUG) // STDERR(same as DEBUG)
#use rs232(baud=9600,xmit=PIN_C6,rcv=PIN_C7,stream=FA403) //This is talking to FA403 wireless
void main(void)
{
int8 tmp[2];
int16 addr;
tmp[0]=1;
tmp[1]=2;
addr=make16(tmp[0],tmp[1]);
while(1)
{
}
}
