4 bytes into one int

Hi, I have four bytes in my program, I'd add them together somehow so that i have a 32bit string, how can I do this?
I tried adding them together and storing into an int but when i tried to do bit shifting I got an unexpected result.
int x = byte[0] + byte[1] + byte[2] + byte[3];Where am i going wrong?
thx

You need to use bit shifting. However, you need to decide whether [0] is the high byte or the low byte (big-endian or little-endian).
EDIT: Also, "32bit string"? You mean "32-bit int" right?

  • Converting a byte[] into an int

    I am using the MD5 hash function to create a message digest. When the hash function is complete it returns a byte[]. I want to turn this byte [] into an int, so that I can exclusive or (^) it to a node id according to this traceback algorithm I am trying to implement.
    Basically, I need to turn a byte[] into an int, and then from an int back into a byte[].
    I've looked throughout the forums at different implementations of this, but some do not return the same byte[] as the original, other's have said to use the ByteBuffer, but how do I use it to turn a byte[] into an int?
    Any help would be great, thanks!!!

    Unfortunatly that will not work. As a previousposter
    indicated, you must mask off the lower 8 bits ofeach
    byte after converting to int (or the equivilentmask
    after shifting).Um? Why would the "sign" bit be getting shifted INTO
    the lowest bit?D'oh! Sorry. My bad. When bytes[n] gets "implicitly" cast to do the calculation. Gak! Nevermind.
    Corrected would be:
    iBytesVal = ((bytes[3] & 0xFF) << 24);
    iBytesVal |= ((bytes[2] & 0xFF) << 16);
    iBytesVal |= ((bytes[1] & 0xFF) << 8);
    iBytesVal |= (bytes[0] & 0xFF);

  • How to join  fields from different internal tables and display into one int

    hai i have one doubt...
    how to join  fields from different internal tables and display into one internal table..
    if anybody know the ans for this qus tell me......

    hii
    you can read data as per condition and then can join in one internal table using READ and APPEND statement..refer to following code.
    SELECT bwkey                         " Valuation Area
             bukrs                         " Company Code
        FROM t001k

  • How to cram two bytes into a short?

    Hi all,
    I have some byte[] data that I am receiving, and I need to put two bytes into one short (or int, or whatever), as the byte[] will form a two bytes-per-pixel image. I've been working with 8-bit data (this is 12-bits, NOT packed), which is much easier to manipulate.
    I currently have this method to convert a byte[] of 8-bit data into a short (I do this because Java does not support signed types and I need that 8th bit):
    private short[] convertBytesToShorts(byte[] data) {
         short[] convertedData = new short[data.length];
         for (int i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
              convertedData[i] = (short)((short)data[i] & 0xff);
         return convertedData;
    }Is there a way to modify this to place two bytes into one short? Is it possible to just AND two bytes with 0xff and add them together to create one short? Surely it cannot be that simple. Also, remember that I must treat the values as unsigned.
    Furthermore, the two bytes look like this:
    | xxxx xxxx | xxxx 0000 |So the last four bits in the second byte are 0s.
    Any advice is appreciated.

    I've been working with 8-bit
    data (this is 12-bits, NOT packed), Obviously that is contradictory.
    I currently have this method to convert a byte[] of
    8-bit data into a short (I do this because Java does
    not support signed types and I need that 8th bit):
    Yes it does. The fact that it displays a byte as and integer and the conversion in that process produces a negative display value has nothing at all to do with the bits.
    Is there a way to modify this to place two bytes into
    one short? short s = (short)(((b1 << 8) & 0x0ff) | (b2 & 0x0ff))
    Of course you still have to deal with getting the order correct.
    (You can probably get rid of that first mask but you would need to test that.)

  • Java writing out bytes from one file, reading back in again

    Hi, I'm having some trouble with bytes.
    I have one program which outputs the following bytes into a file (using Printstream.write() - I'm sure that this program is working fine):
    4 0 64 0 4 0 128 0 63 223 64 20 4 16 130 0 60 16 64 1 63 223 79 236 64 16 195 232 116 63 255 232 148 0 0 0
    I'm then reading in the bytes using the code given on this page (http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java.io/File2ByteArray.html)
    and I get...
    4 0 64 0 4 0 -128 0 63 -33 64 20 4 16 -126 0 60 16 64 1 63 -33 79 -20 64 16 -61 -24 116 63 -1 -24 -108 0 0 0
    As you can see I now have negative numbers - I noticed that if I do 256 + (the negative number) then i get the number I originally wrote out
    I tried fixing this when I read in by doing
    bytes[i] = (byte) (256 + bytes);
    but it doesn't change anything
    how can I either change it so it reads in the bytes exactly as i wrote them out, or write a bit of code that takes the negatives and converts them to the original positives?
    thx

  • StreamInsight Exception: The event is too big to fit into one page. The maximum event size is '230' bytes

    Hi,
    I'm using version 2.1 and getting the following exception
    System.InvalidOperationException: The event is too big to fit into one page. The maximum event size is '230' bytes, but the event size is '234' bytes. Try reduce the size of the event payload.
    Everywhere I read tells me the maximum page size is 16K, so why am I hitting a 230 byte limit? Secondly how can I increase this to the full 16K?
    Thanks,

    That is ... unusual. I've never seen that. Can you provide some details on what your payload looks like and the query?

  • How can I convert an array off byte into an Object ?

    Hi folks...
    I�m developing an application that comunicates a PDA and a computer via Wi-Fi. I�m using a DataStream ( Input and Output ) to receive / send information from / to the computer. Most off the data received from him is in the byte[] type...
    How can I convert an array off byte ( byte[] ) into an Object using MIDP 2.0 / CLDC 1.1 ?
    I found on the web 2 functions that made this... but it uses a ObjectOutputStream and ObjectInputStream classes that is not provided by the J2ME plataform...
    How can I do this ?
    Waiting answers
    Rodrigo Kerkhoff

    There are no ObjectOutputStream and ObjectInputStream classes in CLDC. You must know what you are writing to and reading from the DataStream. You should write the primitives like int, String to the DataOutputstream at one end and read those in exactly the same sequence at the outher end using readInt(), readUTF() methods.

  • Why is there only read(byte[]) & not read(int[])

    I'm trying to read large raw images using the RandomAccessFile. Different images are of different types, some are uInt8, some are int8, some are int16, uInt16, float, etc. The only way I know to read them fast enough is by reading an array of bytes, and then putting the bits together into a new array of the desired type, e.g. shifting and adding to the bytes.
    I'm sure there's a clever way to read different types really fast... How?

    Well... Is there any possabilities to create a new
    int[] array that is "pointing" at the same memory
    allocation as the byte[], just as you can do in C or
    other languages with pointers?
    Nope, Java is type safe.
    It would be easy if I could make the compiler
    interpret the byte[] as an int[]... Suggestions?
    Create a java.io.DataInputStream to read from a java.io.ByteArrayInputStream that reads from your byte[] is one option:ByteArrayInputStream byteStream = ByteArrayInputStream(anArrayOfBytes);
    DataInputStream integerStream = new DataInputStream(byteStream);
    int firstInt = integerStream.readInt();
    ...If you need random access to an int array maybe you need to create the array first and the read ints to it...

  • Byte[] into StringBuffer ?

    This is what I've got:
    new StringBuffer(new String(myByteArray));
    Is this the best way of getting a byte[] into a StringBuffer, or will it suffer from converting it to a String first ? (likely to be between 1,000 and 50,000 bytes in the array).
    Annoyingly, there is no append(byte[]) method in StringBuffer, and you can't cast the byte[] into a char[]. grr.

    Either create a char[] array of the same size of the byte[] array and copy the elements:
    char[] c = new char[b.length];
    for (int i = 0; i < b.length; i++) {
      c[i] = (char)(b[i] & 0xFF);
    }Or convert it to a String (takes a little longer, and StringBuffer will get the chars from it). Just use the right encoding, or you might get "false" String values:
    String s = new String(b, "ISO8859_1");The character encoding ISO 8859-1, will make a one to one mapping between bytes and characters.

  • Combine Columns From Separate Arrays Into One Formatted Table

    What I'm trying to do is make two WMI queries with 2 different classes for a list of machines and then patch the columns together into one single array that is formatted as a table with columns and rows. I seem to keep banging my head against the wall and
    I can't help but feel that the answer is simple. I can certainly create an array that contains all 3 columns (such as in the commented out part) but no matter which angle I go at it, it always seems to end up as all the data in one single row in each column
    rather than a nicely formatted table. I've even tried constructing separate custom objects and adding the different objects to the array but that's obviously not working. Below is the code of the last thing I tried. I need someone to bash it to death and tell
    me the (most likely obvious) thing that I'm doing wrong. Thanks!

    Sorry about the long lines.
    As you can see, all input files saved in array called files, however when OpenFile1() function is called, it take input (fileName_in) as a single file not an array. I'm assuming this causes the exception.
    When there's muptiple inputs, program should take each file from getFileName() to outputToFile() sequentially.
    Does anybody have an idea to solve this?
    Thanks a lot!!

    you naming convention is confussing. you should follows Java naming convention..you have a getXXX but decalred the return type as "void"...get usully means to return something...
    your code is doing too much..and hard to follows..
    1. get the selected files
    for each selected file
    process the file and return the result
    write out the result.
    /** close the precious resource */
    public void closeResource(Reader in){
        if (in != null){
            try{ in.close(); }
            catch (Exception e){}
    /** get the total number of line in a file */
    public int getLineCount(File file) throws IOException{
        BufferedReader in = null;
        int lineCount = 0;
        try{
            in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
            while ((in.readLine() != null)
                lineCount++;
            return lineCount;
        finally{ closeResource (in);  }
    /** read the file */
    public void processFile(File inFile, File outFile) throws IOException{
        BufferedReader in = null;
        StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();
        try{
            in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(inFile));
            String line = null;
            while ((in.readLine() != null){
                .. do something with the line
                result.append(....);
            writeToFile(outFile, result.toString());
        finally{ closeResource (in);  }
    public void writeToFile(File outFile, String result) throws IOException{
        PrintWriter out = null;
        try{
            out = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(outFile, true));  // true for appending to the end of the file
            out.println(result);
        finally{  if (out != null){ try{ out.close(); } catch (Exception e){} }  }

  • Fetch data from two tables and insert into one table

    I have similar to the following data in two tables (@Plant, @PlantDirector) and need to consolidate into one table (@PlantNew) as follows.
    DECLARE @Plant TABLE (PlantID INT, PlantName VARCHAR(100))
    INSERT INTO @Plant (PlantID, PlantName) VALUES (1, 'Name One'),(2, 'Name Two'),(3, 'Name Three'),(4, 'Name Four'),(5, 'Name Five'),(6, 'Name Six')
    Director data for the Plants exist in the following table. Assistant value 1 means Assistant Director and 0 means Director. 
    Data exists only for subset of plants and a Plant may have one or both roles.
    DECLARE @PlantDirector TABLE (PlantID INT, PlantDirectorID INT, Assistant bit)
    INSERT INTO @PlantDirector (PlantID, PlantDirectorID, Assistant) VALUES (2, 111, 1),(2, 222, 0),(4, 333, 0),(6,444,1)
    The above data needs to be inserted into one table (@PlantNew) as follows: 
    PlantID in @Plant table is IDENTITY value and needs to be inserted as-is into this table.
    PlantDirExists will get a value of 1 if at least one record exists in @PlantDirector table for a PlantID. PlantAssistantDirID and PlantDirID should be set to the corresponding PlantDirID or NULL appropriately depending on the data.
    DECLARE @PlantNew TABLE (PlantID INT, PlantName VARCHAR(100), PlantDirExists bit, PlantAssistantDirID INT, PlantDirID INT)
    INSERT INTO @PlantNew (PlantID, PlantName, PlantDirExists, PlantAssistantDirID, PlantDirID)
    VALUES (1, 'Name One', 0, NULL, NULL),(2, 'Name Two', 1, 111, 222),(3, 'Name Three', 0, NULL, NULL),(4, 'Name Four', 1, NULL, 333),(5, 'Name Five', 0, NULL, NULL),(6, 'Name Six',1, 444, NULL)
    How do I achieve the above using SQL ? Thanks.

    like this
    INSERT @PlantNew  (PlantID, PlantName, PlantDirExists, PlantAssistantDirID, PlantDirID) 
    SELECT p.PlantID,
    p.PlantName,
    CASE WHEN pd.PlantID IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE 1 END,
    PlantAssistantDirID,
    PlantDirID
    FROM @Plant p
    LEFT JOIN (SELECT PlantID,
    MAX(CASE WHEN Assistant = 1 THEN PlantDirectorID END) AS PlantAssistantDirID,
    MAX(CASE WHEN Assistant = 0 THEN PlantDirectorID END) AS PlantDirID
    @PlantDirector
    GROUP BY PlantID)pd
    ON pd.PlantID = p.PlantID
    Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs
    You're missing a FROM
    insert into @PlantNew
    SELECT p.PlantID,
    p.PlantName,
    CASE WHEN pd.PlantID IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE 1 END,
    PlantAssistantDirID,
    PlantDirID
    FROM @Plant p
    LEFT JOIN (SELECT PlantID,
    MAX(CASE WHEN Assistant = 1 THEN PlantDirectorID END) AS PlantAssistantDirID,
    MAX(CASE WHEN Assistant = 0 THEN PlantDirectorID END) AS PlantDirID
    from @PlantDirector
    GROUP BY PlantID)pd
    ON pd.PlantID = p.PlantID

  • What is the efficient way of insert some bytes into a file?

    Hello, everyone:
    If I want to insert some bytes into a file (for example, insert the bytes before all the original content of the file, or append the bytes to a file), and the size of the original file is very big. I am wondering what is the efficient way? Where can I get some sample codes?
    regards,
    George

    Thanks, DrClap.
    I have tried your method and you are correct. I have written a simple program which can be used to insert "Hello World " to the start of a file ("c:\\temp\\input.txt"), and I have verified that it can work. Please help to see whether it is correct and whether it has a more efficient way.
