We are given an unsigned integer number represented by 16 bits. This number can be kept in a variable defined in C language as "uint16_t". Let's represent this variabe as "uint16_t x;" in our C code. a) keep the least significant 8 bits of this number in an unsigned character variable "x_low". b) Keep the most significant 8 bits of this number in an unsigned character variable "x_high". c) Form a new unsigned integer 16-bit variable in C language called "x_swap". This variable will keep the swapped version of the variable "x" such that the least significant 8 bits of the variable x will become the most significant 8 bits of the variable "x_swap". Also, the most significant 8 bits of the variable x will become the least significant 8 bits of the variable "x_swap".
