Bits and bytes through Java...

    Hey all,

    Could anyone please tell me how to calculate low and high bytes of a number in Java?

    For example, if I gave a parameter of say 256 (each register is 16 bits), the high byte would be

    00000001

    and the low byte

    00000000

    Using the bit shift operators, how would I calculate these values?
    I've been trying this for the last few days and it's driving me up the wall.

    Thanks for any help :)

    The low byte would be

    i & 0xff

    And the high byte would be

    ( i >> 8 ) & 0xff
