2 uint8_t to a uint16?

[DavidDobson]

Hi

I'm looking for a way to take two uint8_t values and place them in a Uint16_t...

uint8_t bob 0xDD;
uint8_t fred 0xFF;

uint16_t tom;

tom = ???

The end result being:

Tom: 0xDDFF

Has any one got any ideas?

Cheers

David

tom = bob;
tom <<= 8;
tom |= fred ;
