[SOLVED] how to get indivigual bit value from 8 bit port

[raman00084]

i am using i2c port expander ic pcf8574 it is an 8 bit ic. i will write all the pins to high now the data value = 255
if i make first bit low that is 11111101 the decimal value is 253 so data value = 253
if i make first bit and second bit low 11111100 so data value =252

i need help in converting my data value to individual bit value and it must be stored in 8 different variables
example data value = 252 binary value = 11111100
1- var1
1-var2
1-var3
1-var4
1-var5
1-var6
0-var7
0-var8
please help thank you

What compiler (language) are you using? MikroC?

you can shift and mask, e.g.

int value = 252 ;
int var1=(value>>7)&1;
int var2=(value>>6)&1;
int var3=(value>>5)&1;
etc
