Char to Integer question

travis

I have this two byte character array { $08, $20 }

I want to compare it with decimal 2080
( 0x820 == 2080 )

Is there a simple way ?

Hedberg

nSum = type_cast($08 << 8) + $20

or

c1 = $08
c2 = $20

nSum = type_cast(c1 << 8 + c2)

the << operator is the binary lshift operator. << 8 is the same as *256
