In the readWord() method of class Ajpv12InputStream.java we have the
following bitwise operation:
return ((int)((b1 << 8) | b2)) & 0xffff;
Does anyone happen to know the utility of the '& 0xffff' in this? From
what I can see it has no effect whatsoever on the final result.
Let me give an example for those of us who dont enjoy bit logic.
Assume:
b1 = 0000000010101010
b2 = 0000000011001100
(b1 << 8) = 1010101000000000 | b2
= 1010101011001100 & 0xffff
= 1010101011001100
Just wondering if I'm missing something here...
Thanks,
MG
