Help in breaking bytes into bits through masking and shifting

[kamui123]

You need something more systematic, perhaps along the lines of

def encode(pattern, numbers):
    result = 0
    for size, n in zip(pattern, numbers):
        result = (result << size) + n
    return result

def decode(pattern, n):
    result = []
    for size in reversed(pattern):
        n, r = divmod(n, 1 << size)
        result.append(r)
    return tuple(reversed(result))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    pat_lat = (1, 3, 4 ,4, 4, 4, 4)
    pat_long = (1, 3, 3, 4, 4, 3, 4, 4)
    data = (1, 2, 5, 5, 7, 6, 3)
    n = encode(pat_lat, data)
    print(data)
    print(bin(n))
    print(decode(pat_lat, n))

Output:
(1, 2, 5, 5, 7, 6, 3)
0b101001010101011101100011
(1, 2, 5, 5, 7, 6, 3)

Hi Sir, I know this is long due and I am so sorry for that, but is there a way to encode and decode the latitude and longitude of the GPS in such a way that it transmits lesser bits?
