Hi

How can I (if it is possible) do the following in C with a binary number instead of a hex number?

Code:

unsigned char x;

x= 01010101b; // binary number

In Cosmic and metrowerks you would use:

unsigned char data;

data = 0b00000000;

Yes but it does not work. I get an error when compiling: C2704 - Illegal number

I have tested it in both cosmic and metrowerks with no problems ?

What compiler/version are you using?

You are using 0b00000000 not 00000000b as per your example ?

Hi again

I am using Metrowerks Codewarrior ver. 4.1 build 0621.

I tried the method you suggested but still the same error.

I have checked my version and it is 4.2.5.766

Looks like you need to upgrade.
