The sbit type defines a bit within a special function register (SFR). It is used in one of the following ways:

sbit name = sfr-name ^ bit-position;
sbit name = sfr-address ^ bit-position;
sbit name = sbit-address;

sbit    LED2=P3^3;        //……meanspin 3 of port 3 is named as LED2 (USED IN PROGRAM LATER)
sbit    EN=P3^7;        //…….meanspin 7 of port 3 is named as EN (USED IN PROGRAM LATER)
sbit    RW=P3^6;        //……………….
sbit    RS=P3^5;        //……………….
