Example
XOR’ing decimal 10 (binary 1010) with decimal 9 (binary 1001) will return a value of
decimal 3 (binary 0011):
value = bit.bitxor(10, 9)
print(value)
Output: 3.000000e+00
bit.clear
Function Clears a bit at a given index position.
Usage
value = bit.clear(value1, index)
value1 Given number.
index Index position of the bit to be cleared (1 to 32).
value Returns the result of the manipulation.
Remarks
• This function clears a bit at a given index position.
• Any fractional part of value1 is truncated to make it an integer. The returned value
is also an integer.
• The least significant bit of the given number is at index 1. The most significant bit is
at index 32.
• See “Logic and bit operations” on page 12-13 for more information.
Also see bit.get, bit.getfield, bit.set, bit.setfield, bit.test, bit.toggle
Example
The binary equivalent of decimal 15 is 1111. If you clear the bit at index position 2, the
returned decimal
value would be 13 (binary 1101):
value = bit.clear(15, 2)
print(value)
Output: 1.300000e+01
bit.get
Function Retrieves the weighted value of a bit at a given index position.
Usage
value = bit.get(value1, index)
value1 Given number.
index Index position of the bit to be retrieved (1 to 32).
value Returned weighted value of the bit.
Remarks
• This function returns the value of the bit in value1 at the given index. This is the
same as returning
value1 with all other non-indexed bits set to zero.
• Prior to retrieving the indexed bit, any fractional part of the given number will be
truncated to make it an integer. The least significant bit of the given number has an
index of 1 and the most significant bit has an index of 32.
• If the indexed bit for the number is set to 0, the result will be 0.
• See “Logic and bit operations” on page 12-13 for more information.
