ok.. thanks.. I'll try that out tonight!.
but Im still curious as to other questions?
for now.. forget about the bit shifting...
I think ultimately...when I want to do random/odd patterns..etc.. building an array would be helpful to use in certain functions.
so what is wrong with passing an array index value?
or more to the point.. what is wrong with MY code that attempts to do that?
that has nothing to do with bit shifting.. I am hard coding bit values in the array..and feeding that to the 'loops'???
thanks
