If the test associated with a particular bit fails the bit is turned on. Turning on the bit equates to adding the integer value of the failed test to the current value of the field. The QC field\'s value can be interpreted by applying bit logic using bitwise operators, or by examining the QC value\'s integer representation. A QC field\'s integer representation is the sum of the individual integer values of the failed tests. The bit and integer equivalents for the first 5 bits are listed below:\n",
