How to declare variable like this

[Somkiat]

I have array

BYTE Dout[4];


I want to declare bit 5 in Dout[2] is VP for use like this

VP=1;
or
VP=0;

How can I declare VP ?

Thanks

If you don't want to use a union and bitfields, then you
can use the method shown below. Compile this program
and look at the assembly listing (.LST file) to see that it works.

Would this also work?

bit_set(Dout[2], 5);// sets bit 5 of Dout[2]

or

bit_clear(Dout[2], 5);// clears bit 5 of Dout[2]

I'm sure that works but it does not read as well as this;

VP=1;
or
VP=0;
