bit.clear()
This function clears a bit at a specified index position.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Affected by Where saved Default value
Function No
Usage
result = bit.clear(value, index)
result
Result of the bit manipulation
value
Specified number
index
One-based bit position within value to clear (1 to 32)
Details
Any fractional part of value is truncated to make it an integer. The returned result is also an integer.
The least significant bit of value is at index position 1; the most significant bit is at index position 32.
Example
testResult = bit.clear(15, 2)
print(testResult)
The binary equivalent of decimal 15 is 1111. If you
clear the bit at index position 2, the returned
decimal value is 13 (binary 1101).
Output:
1.30000e+01
