Dear all:
Hello,
I have to compare 2 values which is represented by 2 bytes as 0xffff and 0x00fe in 2's complement system. so the difference between them should be -1 - 254 =-255. but before do such calculation, I have to translate 0xffff as -1. Is there build-in function in perl for me to use, or should I transfer it by hand?
$ perl -le'$x = 0xffff; print $x; print unpack "s", pack "S", $x' 65535 -1 John -- Perl isn't a toolbox, but a small machine shop where you can special-order certain sorts of tools at low cost and in short order. -- Larry Wall -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
