Convert Hex to Decimal Value
<p>If I have a hex value of 53, what is the best way in Java to see what the values of bit 6 and bit 7 are?  Bit 1 will be considered as the Least Significant Bit (or the rightmost bit within a byte).  </p>

<p>The goal is to take bit6 and bit7 and convert them to its combined decimal form.  </p>
