[RESOLVED] DWORD bit set

**eranga262154** · Jun 1st, 2008, 11:53 PM

Hi all,

I have a variable define like this.

Code:

DWORD temp = 0;

After doing some process, I want to set all bits(all 32 bits) into one. So I do this.

Code:

temp = 0xffffffff;

Is that ok.

Yeah.

Thanks,

I have a trick too. Since it is unsigned long if I do this?

Code:

temp = -1;

Don't do that. It's not a trick, its misleading and bad practice.

Ok. Thanks for the information.
