I've been tring to work on a code that, say, inputs certain numbers, and
based on the number, different functions or features would be turned on or
off  (such as with quake/quake2 servers, like the DMFLAG=128...)

Anyways, I think I got the right idea, however, as I posted before, I'm new
to C/C++, and well, I'm not sure if I could use a portion of an array as a
variable..

Well, never mind all that..  It's late, I've been up for almost 36 hours due
to work, and I can't concentrate..  Grr..

I'll just post a portion of the code and see if there's a way I could
streamline this.. :)

Here goes..

/*Quest.C..  Try to find what an inputted value really means..*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <pc.h>

int Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6, value;
main()
{
        ScreenClear();  /*why won't clrscr work!*/
        ScreenSetCursor(0,0);
        Q1 = 0;
        Q2 = 0;
        Q3 = 0;
        Q4 = 0;
        Q5 = 0;
        Q6 = 0;
        puts("Enter an integer Value between 1 and 63: ");
        scanf("%d", &value);
        QuestValue(value, Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6);
        return(0);
}
QuestValue(value, Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6)
int value, Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5, Q6;
{
        puts("Quest Completed:\n");
        if (value >= 32)
        {
                value = value - 32;
                Q6 = 1;
        }
        if (value >= 16)
        {
                value = value - 16;
                Q5 = 1;
        }
        if (value >= 8)
        {
                value = value - 8;
                Q4 = 1;
        }
        if (value >= 4)
        {
                value = value - 4;
                Q3 = 1;
        }
        if (value >= 2)
        {
                value = value - 2;
                Q2 = 1;
        }
        if (value >= 1)
        {
                value = value - 1;
                Q1 = 1;
        }
        if (Q1 == 1)
                puts("Quest 1 completed.");
        if (Q2 == 1)
                puts("Quest 2 completed.");
        if (Q3 == 1)
                puts("Quest 3 completed.");
        if (Q4 == 1)
                puts("Quest 4 completed.");
        if (Q5 == 1)
                puts("Quest 5 completed.");
        if (Q6 == 1)
                puts("Quest 6 completed.");
        return(0);
}


Ah-ha!  That's what I was trying to ask..

Is it even possible to...

    sumnum = 32;
    count = 6;
    while (sumnum <> 0);
    if (value >=sumnum)
        {
                value = value - sumnum;
                Q(count) = 1;
                count--;
        }

Hmm..  Now I'm dizzy, and spacy also.. Hmm..
