Allowed number bases for uint8_t variables
I know this is a simple question, but I'm having trouble finding the answer. Example function:
I2C_Mode I2C_Master_ReadReg(uint8_t dev_addr, uint8_t reg_addr, uint8_t count)
Because the parameters are mainly register addresses, is it possible to give the parameters as hexidecimal or binary? Or does uint8_t only accept decimal values? Will putting 0x68 or 1101000 instead of 104 cause an error during execution or be syntactically incorrect?
I can give more details if needed.
Thanks
Variables don't care about bases. It's all binary to the machine.
It makes no difference if you say
var = 104;
var = 0x68;
But your average desktop oriented compiler doesn't understand binary constants, but they are common for compilers targeting embedded / small devices.
So you might also be able to say
var = 0b1101000;
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
