I expected that below code will output 10 because (~port) equal to 10100101
So, when we right shift it by 4 we get 00001010 which is 10.
But the output is 250! Why?



int main()

uint8_t port = 0x5a;
uint8_t result_8 = (~port) >> 4;
//result_8 = result_8 >> 4;

printf("%i", result_8);

return 0;

          1. port is promoted to signed integer 0x0000005a.


          2. ~ inverts it giving 0xffffffa5.

          4. It's truncated back into a uint8_t giving 0xfa == 250.

          To fix that, either truncate the temporary result:



          uint8_t result_8 = (uint8_t)(~port) >> 4;


          or mask it:



          uint8_t result_8 = (~port & 0xff) >> 4;

            uint8_t is, very likely, a synonym of unsigned char on your system. The promotion rules apply to all integral types smaller than int.
