well, the easiest way to do it would be to use bit fields inside a struct
struct fourBitValues
{
unsigned x: 4;
unsigned y: 4;
};
fourBitValues fbv;
fbv.x = 12;
fbv.y = 4;
/* multiply fbv.x and fbv.y */
You may want some verification such as
if(inputValue1 <= 0xF && inputValue2 <= 0xF)
{
// valid input
}
else
{
// invalid
}
That should do it for you
