how to code 8 boolean variables inside a unit8

Hi everyone,

I have to code 8 boolean variables inside a 8 bit word, I should return as result an unsigned integer of 8 bit e.g.:

unit8 wordVAR;
boolean IN0;
boolean IN1;
....................
and then 

 8bit    7      6  5   4   3   2   1   0  
  wordVAR= IN7 IN6 IN5 IN4 IN3 IN2 IN1 IN0

I should do that because my internship advisor want it

is there a way to do that using a matlab instruction or a C Lv2 sfunction ?

thanks a lot 4 reading

You can use bitset() but it has never been clear that bitset is any faster than using arithmetic.

I thought to use a stuff like that

wordVAR=IN0*pow(2,0)+IN1*pow(2,1)+IN2*pow(2,2)+IN3*pow(2,3)+.........

but I'm still wondering if there is another and better way to do that
