Creating type classes

[biot023]

I need to create a class that holds a value from 0 to 9 - even using chars is too expensive on memory. I tried building a type that stores values in four bools, but this took too much processing time to create & access. Does anybody have any suggestions?
(Man, I'm really hitting this site, today!)

well... the smallest value you could store to represent 0-9 would be 4 bits. a char is the smallest thing you could do this with and it being 8 bits you could store 2 values in a single char. Is this along the ways you are trying to do this?
