Programming in C

sup /prog/,

I'm coding in C. I have an char array that looks like this: [0,1,1,0,0,0,1,1].

How can I write this into a binary or single char so that it'll be a single variable, i.e. b = 01100011?

And then convert that back into decimal?

Thanks. >>5 worked but produced the wrong outputs. (01101111 went to 246 for example)

Can you explain more what you mean by "You shouldn't add it. You should or it?"
