How to set MSB of a UShort Variable?

i'm having a UShort variable Temp and which has a value 1.

How to set the most-sign开发者_如何学JAVAificant bit of this value as 1.

You use or to overwrite the "leftmost" bit:

ushort temp=1;
temp |= 1<<15;

Where 15 is the number of bits in your data type (16) minus 1 because your 1 is already in position 1.

Or...since you know the size of your data type:

public ushort setHighOrderBit( ushort foo )
{
  return foo |= 0x8000 ;
}

[my bad. Not enough coffee this AM]

This should work:

ushort value = 307;
byte lsb = (byte)(value & 0xFFu);
byte msb = (byte)((value >> 8) & 0xFFu);
