I would like to have pointed out what the code below means.

int x:4;

It specifies the number of bits used by the struct member (only possible within structs).

Example: (copied from MSDN help).

struct CELL             // Declare CELL bit field
{
   unsigned character  : 8;  // 00000000 ????????
   unsigned foreground : 3;  // 00000??? 00000000
   unsigned intensity  : 1;  // 0000?000 00000000
   unsigned background : 3;  // 0???0000 00000000
   unsigned blink      : 1;  // ?0000000 00000000
};

Ok, I guessed it was something like that. But I did'nt know that it could only be used within structs.

Thanks and sorry for not reading the manual.
