I am doing a task which involves developing a Feistel cipher in the nand2tetris HACK assembly language. I have working implementations of an XOR and rotation (bit shift) function in HACK. I believe the first step for the cipher is splitting the 16-bit plaintext into two equal parts. How would I achieve this?
