[QUOTE="Joe Smith, post: 4789215"] If you have an 8-bit number and shift it right 3 bits, then you have a 5-bit quantity. If all you are interested in is those 5 bits, then fine. If you have a 32-bit number and shift it right 3 bits, then you have a 29-bit quantity. If all you are interested in is 5 bits, then you will have to perform an extra step to ensure that you are getting only 5 bits. That's where the 'AND' operation comes in. -Joe [/QUOTE]
