Note that ^ means XOR in C. Exclusive or. Output 1 when only one
input bit is 1, but not both.
00100011

Hello,
I have another newbie C question.
Is this the same as 2^9 ??
value = 9
(2 << (value - 1))
This will give me 512, but will it work no matter what "value" is?
Or does linuxbios already have a "to the power of" global function?
Thanks - Joe
