Lua:byteTableToWord

function byteTableToWord(Table, [Signed]) : Number

Converts a table of bytes to a 16-bit word (integer).

Function Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
Table	Table	A table containing the bytes to convert (least significant byte first).
Signed	Boolean (optional)	If true, returns a signed 16-bit integer. If false or omitted, returns an unsigned integer.

Returns

Number — The resulting 16-bit word (integer).

Explanation

The function takes a table of bytes (e.g., {0x39, 0x05}) and combines them into a single 16-bit value. The first element is the least significant byte (little-endian order). If Signed is true, the result is interpreted as a signed integer.

For example, byteTableToWord({0x39, 0x05}) returns 1337.

Examples

local word = byteTableToWord({0x39, 0x05})
print(word) -- Output: 1337

-- Using signed interpretation
local signedWord = byteTableToWord({0xFF, 0xFF}, true)
print(signedWord) -- Output: -1
