Hi!

Hope you can help my.

I´d like to put a binary value into a char or int.

ex: char x = 01000110;

for hexa, I can write 0x25 for exemple.

What must I write to put a binary value into a char?

Thanks

You can't write binary constants like that in ANSI-C

But then
x = 10; // decimal
x = 0xa; // hex
x = 012; // octal

All do the same thing, so any mythical
x = 0b1010; // binary
is no different from any of the above.

Strictly speaking, char constants are octal '\012' or hexa '\x0C' form...
No difference in C where char constants have int type...
