Methods

GetLowerNibbleBitsAsNewByte(byte)

Creates a new byte from the given byte which has its upper nibble zeroed out. For example passing a byte such as 01010110 will generate a new byte 00000110.

public static byte GetLowerNibbleBitsAsNewByte(this byte b)

Parameters

b byte

The byte to operate upon.

Returns

byte

A new byte which is a copy of the given byte but with its upper nibble zeroed out.

GetUpperNibbleBitsAsNewByte(byte)

Creates a new byte from the given byte which has its upper nibble zeroed out while its lower nibble is identical to the upper nibble of the given byte. For example passing a byte such as 0101_0110 will generate a new byte 0000_0101.

public static byte GetUpperNibbleBitsAsNewByte(this byte b)

Parameters

b byte

The byte to operate upon.

Returns

byte

A new byte which is a copy of the given byte but with its upper nibble zeroed out and the lower nibble identical to the upper nibble of the given byte.

KeepOnlyUpperNibbleBits(byte)

Creates a new byte from the given byte which has its lower nibble zeroed out. For example passing a byte such as 01010110 will generate a new byte 01010000.

public static byte KeepOnlyUpperNibbleBits(this byte b)

Parameters

b byte

The byte to operate upon.

Returns

byte

A new byte which is a copy of the given byte but with its lower nibble zeroed out.

ToBitsString(byte)

Converts a byte to its bit-string representation. For example '15' -> '00001111'

public static string ToBitsString(this byte b)

Parameters

b byte

The byte to convert

Returns

string

The bits-string representation

ToReversedByte(byte)

Reverses the bits inside a byte into a new byte. For example '01010010' -> '01001010'

public static byte ToReversedByte(this byte b)

Parameters

b byte

The byte to reverse the bits of

Returns

byte

A new byte containing the result
