Assigning a larger value to a bit

 Assigning a larger value to a bit

bit           bitVal;
unsigned char byteVal;
:
:
   bitVal = byteVal;

   bitVal = byteVal & 0x01 // Equivalent to A 
or
   bitVal = (byteVal > 0)  // Equivalent to B 

 RE: Assigning a larger value to a bit

bit  bitVar;
char charVar = 0xA5;

bitVar = charVar;

// would be interp. as below, e.g. a boolean treatment of charVar.
bitVar = !!charVar;
