How to SWAP 2 Bits in a BYTE Data

Tue, 19 Sep 2006 04:56:46 -0700

Hi Friends,

Plz send me the code to swap two bits of byte data ,
Waiting for positive reply,

Ex: Before: 0x80
After : 0x01

Enjoy! And don't hesitate to beg for more code!

asking for code, sounds like another homework question. I'll give you pseudo code...this is off the top of my head, so it might not be efficient

let 'a' be the number, copy the number into 'b'

make a mask that is zeroes except on the first bit, call it mask1
make another mask that is zeroes except on the other bit, call it mask2

binary and mask1 with 'a', lets call it 'f'
binary and mask2 with 'a', lets call it 's'

if not ((f>0 && s>0) || (f==0 && s==0))
  if f>0 then b = binary or of mask2 with a
  else b= binary or of mask1 with a
return b, or just b is the value

not so sure if thats the best, but there
{2}rIng

Pseudocode:
- Get the byte
- Get the two bits
- Swap the two bits
- Put the bits back in the byte

You can do without bithsifting, but perhaps this page give some inspiration:

I don't see how you could do it without shifting in an effective way.
I would write it in assembler myself, since this is a typical algorithm where assembler is much more efficient - you don't have rotate and check carry in C/C++.

Why check anything? Simply mask out the unneeded bits and then shift both values and then clear the old bit values and then OR them with the values from previoud shift.

I'm assuming he wants a generic "mirror" algorithm, ie 0xAAAA would be translated to 0x5555. Otherwise the source code I first posted would do fine as well...

Hi,
Plesase see the code below and make sure p2 > p1 for swapping bits

int main()
{
int n=32;

int p1,p2;

printf("\n Enter positions 1 :");
scanf("%d",&p1);

printf("\n Enter positions 2 :");
scanf("%d",&p2);
n = ((n & (1<<p1)) ^ ((n&(1<<p2)) >> (p2-p1)) ) ? ((n ^ (1 << p1)) ^ (1<<p2)):(n) ;
printf("\n result : %d ", n);
}
