I have a table with different codes. And their Id's are powers of 2. (20, 21, 22, 23...). Based on different conditions my application will assign a value to the "Status" variable. for ex :
Status = 272 ( which is 28+ 24)
Status = 21 ( Which is 24+ 22+20)
If Status = 21 then my method (C#) should tell me that 21 is sum of 16 + 4 + 1.
