bit.get()
This function retrieves the weighted value of a bit at a specified index position.
Type
TSP-Link accessible
Affected by
Where saved
Default value
Function
No
Usage
result
= bit.get(
value
,
index
)
result
Result of the bit manipulation
value
Specified number
index
One-based bit position within
value
to get (1 to 32)
Details
This function returns the value of the bit in
value
at
index
. This is the same as returning
value
with
all other bits set to zero (0).
The least significant bit of
value
is at
index
position 1; the most significant bit is at
index
position
32.
If the indexed bit for the number is set to zero (0), the result will be zero (0).
Example
testResult = bit.get(10, 4)
print(testResult)
The binary equivalent of decimal 10 is 1010. If you
get the bit at index position 4, the returned decimal
value is 8.
Output:
8.00
