I want to combine three characters into a short bit offset. This is for implementing the RGB565 color palette (where there are 5 bits for red, 6 for green, 5 for blue).
Here is my sample program, I just skipped a step in the middle, I think where I need to make some statements.
#include <stdio.h> int main( ){ unsigned char r, g, b; unsigned short rgb; r = 255; // 0xFF 1111 1111 g = 100; // 0x64 0110 0100 b = 50; // 0x32 0011 0010 r = r >> 3; // 0x31 0001 1111 g = g >> 2; // 0x19 0001 1001 b = b >> 3; // 0x06 0000 0110 //r = r & something; // //g = g & something; // //b = b & something; // // Desired result: // RGB // 0xFB26 11111 011001 00110 rgb = r | g | b; printf( "r 0x%xg 0x%xb 0x%x, rgb 0x%08x\n", r, g, b, rgb ); }
At the end you can see my desired result. Thanks for the help!
