$5$ points$)$ Suppose you have a binary number $11101100.$

i$)$ How can you isolate the middle $4$ bits, i$.$e$.$ turn it into the following binary number

$00101100.$ You don$$t have to write any assembly just explain your thought process.

$(2\mathrm{.}5$ points$)$

ii$)$ How can you mask out the middle $4$ bits? $(2\mathrm{.}5$ points$)$

Hint: You can use logical operator to achieve the above.
