integer/short to byte array

-----------------------------------

pretty much... google tells me how to do it in java, and i wasn't successful at finding out how to do it "manually".  I'm not very good at these low level stuff, but am thinking of using turing's net commands and making a communication link between 2 programs.  i think stuff might work if i can somehow converted for example a short to a byte array of length 2 and an int to a byte array of length 4.

is there any way to do this in turing?  or how would you do it manually (i.e. on paper if this is possible)?

thanks

Within Turing, you will want what are called "bitwise operators". In Turing, those are shl, shr, or, and (shift left, shift right, bitwise-or, bitwise-and).

oh i see thanks, tony's explaination was pretty much what i was looking for.

also... now that i look into it... might as well just use java for the TCP/IP communication link...
