Thread: Shift Operators question

How do you set up a right shift or left ........ doing an infinite loop?

like for example,

the hex 0x55 which is equal t
o 0101 0101 in binary

now i want to shift the value of 0x55 to 1 to the right

so its

Code:

int value;
value = value >> 1;

then that changes the binary value to

0010 1010

then another shift will make it

0001 0101

whats happening here is it is shifting to the right but its not going back to the other side. Im triying to figure out how can i make this code in a loop like:

1010 0000 = form 1
0101 0000
0010 1000
0001 0100
0000 1010
0000 0101
1000 0010 in here the bit 1 goes back to the other side
0100 0001
1010 0000 now its back to form 1

Without coding it for you, I would look at the LSb, then shift,
then OR what was the LSb with the MSb of the shift result.
