join 2 unsigned char

[aamir121a]

i needed to join 2 unsigned char as in

unsigned  short temp =  0x3e + 0x20 ;
// I do not want to add them 
// resulting short should look like   0x3e20

One way is to use a left shift and then a bitwise or (or just add), but note that the result is unlikely to fit into an unsigned char (without changing its value).

unsigned  short temp =  (0x3e << 8) + 0x20;
