Hello,
I’m new to this forum and fairly new to programming.
I have a hexadecimal number that I wish to put into a buffer so I can display the 2 least significant bits, that is the two last digits. i.e the number look like this unsigned short = 0xFE18 but I’d like to display on the screen just “18”. Which is the best way to do this?
Thanks you so very much!

Welcome to G4EF, Pamela

Don't know, if this is the best, bu you can do it this way:

(1) Print the hex number to a string:

sprintf(MyString, "%x", 0xFE18);

(2) Print the last two chars of the string :

printf("%s\n", MyString+(strlen(MyString)-2));

Complete test program:

#include <cstdio>
#include <cstring>

int main()
{
    char MyString[10];
    sprintf(MyString, "%x", 0xFE18);
    printf("%s\n", MyString+(strlen(MyString)-2));
    return 0;
}
