ADVICE USING RB0 INT FUNCTION

hi all
im looking for advice whilst using the RB0 int function on a pic (16f 887), if i set it for say trigger on the rising edge would i need to use say a 10K resistor to pull it low and vice versa ie falling edge and a 10K pull up resistor or can the bit just be connected without the resistors ?? cheers

That depends on what you use to drive the input. If you use a well defined, not open collector, output of another chip no pull-up/down is required. If you use a switch that connects to GND/Vcc a pull-up/down will be required.
