Beautiful Binary Literals
Updated: 2023-05-30 20:55:36
Finally! I've used binary literals in real code. This feature, and the digits separator have been good additions to the C# language.
public static byte[] BreakIntoTwos(byte value)
{
var result = new byte[4];
result[0] = (byte)((value & 0b1100_0000) >> 6);
result[1] = (byte)((value & 0b0011_0000) >> 4);
result[2] = (byte)((value & 0b0000_1100) >> 2);
result[3] = (byte) (value & 0b0000_0011);
return result;
}
