Function: bit_lsh (int, nBits) ¶

This function shifts all bits of the signed integer int to the left by nBits bits. The width of the integer is extended by nBits for this process. The result of bit_lsh therefore is int * 2.

(%i1) load("bitwise")$

(%i2) bit_lsh(0,1);
(%o2)                           0

(%i5) bit_lsh(1,i);
(%o5)                     bit_lsh(1, i)

(%o6)                          - 6

(%i7) bit_lsh(-2,1);

Function: bit_rsh (int, nBits) ¶

This function shifts all bits of the signed integer int to the right by nBits bits. The width of the integer is reduced by nBits for this process.

(%i1) load("bitwise")$

(%i2) bit_rsh(0,1);
(%o2)                           0

(%i3) bit_rsh(2,0);
(%o3)                           2

(%i4) bit_rsh(2,1);
(%o4)                           1

Function: bit_length (int) ¶

determines how many bits a variable needs to be long in order to store the number int. This function only operates on positive numbers.

(%i1) load("bitwise")$

(%i2) bit_length(0);
(%o2)                           0

(%i3) bit_length(1);

Function: bit_onep (int, nBit) ¶

determines if bits nBit is set in the signed integer int.

(%i1) load("bitwise")$

(%i2) bit_onep(85,0);
(%o2)                         true

(%i3) bit_onep(85,1);

(%i7) bit_onep(i,100);
(%o7)                   bit_onep(i, 100)

For signed numbers the sign bit is interpreted to be more than nBit to the left of the leftmost bit of int that reads 1.

(%i1) load("bitwise")$

(%i2) bit_onep(-2,0);
(%o2)                         false

(%i3) bit_onep(-2,1);
(%o3)                         true

(%i4) bit_onep(-2,2);
(%o4)                         true

(%i5) bit_onep(-2,3);
(%o5)                         true

(%i6) bit_onep(-2,4);
(%o6)                         true

If it is known if the number to be tested is even this information is taken into consideration by the function.

(%i1) load("bitwise")$

(%i2) declare(e,even,o,odd);
(%o2)                         done

(%i3) bit_onep(e,0);
(%o3)                         false

(%i4) bit_onep(o,0);
(%o4)                         true
