Binary Operation help.

Basically what my program does.
It has one main.
It has one function.

The function is:
C Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. int humhum (unsigned long x, unsigned long y)
  2. {
  3. unsigned long res;
  4.         printf("Enter an integer for x:");
  5. 	scanf( "%ul", &x);
  6. 	printf("\nEnter an integer for y:");
  7. 	scanf("%ul", &y);
  8. 	res = x ^ y;
  9.  
  10. }

Now res will use exclusive ^OR to compare two numbers in binary mode. But what do i do here to use res and and count how many 0s does res have?

I also need to call this function in the main, and then state that this many zeroes are in res.

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

It doesn't help. What i want to do is convert res into binary and find how many zeros it has.. and then print it in the main.. saying it has X amount of zeros.

Well, try this one http://www.is.wayne.edu/olmt/binary/page3.htm
Don't you see a pattern that you can use to count the zeros?

No wonder those links don't help. They have nothing to do with the problem.

First off, res is already binary. If you know the shift operator (<<), that makes it easy to count the 0's. Look it up and see what you come up with.
