Combining multiple bytes

[bnel817]

I have four multiple bytes that I would like to combine into one 32 bit string that I can output a bit at a time.

I know how to combine the bytes to get a value like

value = Byte1<<24 + Byte2<<16 +; etc.

However I would like to be able to use the shift_right and output_bit functions which need an address rather than a value.

I am fairly new to C programming and would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks.
