    I haven't looked at it, this was just the first on the list when I searched google.

    This one's a decent starter...<>
    Code:
    #include <cmath>
    #include <complex>
    bool euler_flip(bool value)
    {
        return std::pow
        (
            std::complex<float>(std::exp(1.0)), 
            std::complex<float>(0, 1) 
            * std::complex<float>(std::atan(1.0)
            *(1 << (value + 2)))
        ).real() < 0;
    }

    You could also study an existing open source operating system to see how things work.

    One of the best places to go for help on OS dev. And I'm not saying that just because I live there. Ask around.
