Hi.Given a number ,say 15, whose binary equivalent is 1111, how can the bit value of any position can be obtained using bitwise operators?Thank s for any help.

select the bit you want, say 3 bit (0100 = 0x04) AND the value with that bit and shift right by the number of 0 (2 in this case)
bit = (number & 0x04) >> 2;
bit will have either the value 0 or the value 1 depending on the value of the third bit in number.
Preferably bitwise operations should always be carried out on unsigned integers.
