using BTFSS function in Hitec c

BTFSS in Hitec c

Hi everyone.
I was using BTFSS function to check the STATUS bit of PIC 16f877. I got it correctly..
I wanted to implement same program in C for which i am using a hitech c compiler. Could anyone just help me hw to write the BTFSS statement n BTFSC statement in C.
Also let me know if there any special instruction r tricks by which we can one set a bit in a REGISTER. Is there any other way other than the given below

PORTB = 0X80;

Thanks for your time.

Re: BTFSS in Hitec c

I don't use Hitech but the usual way is something like this:

if(STATUS & (1 << xxx))
{
//do something
}


substitute the name of the bit you want to test for 'xxx'.

Added after 2 hours 35 minutes:

If you want to set one bit in a register, use this:

xxx |= (1 << bit number);

to reset a bit use:

xxx &= ~(1 << bit number);

Substitute the register name for 'xxx'. You can use a bit name instead of bit number as long as it has been defined somewhere.
