Re: Hexadecimal and bitwise operations

The problem has been solved. Thanks everyone who's responded. The
function I wrote is the following:

unsigned int getHexDigit( unsigned int hex, unsigned short
digitWanted )
{
    // Tricky calculation, but it basically creates a mask (0xf) and
****fts it
    // over until it's at the desired digit (keeping in mind the size
of an int
    // is 4). Then, the resault is ****fted back to the ones place.
    // The digit wanted is subtracted by 1 because the one's place is
    // already where it's at.
    return (  hex & 0xf << (digitWanted-1) * 4  ) >> (digitWanted-1) *
4;
}

I know you guys might not need the commenting, but I consider that
part of the function so...
