$ZBITSET (legacy function)
Bitstring function – SET.
Synopsis
$ZBITSET(bitstring,position,truthval)
Parameters
| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
| bitstring | The bitstring to be set. |
| position | Positive integer that specifies a location in bitstring. |
| truthval | Single-bit binary value (0 or 1). |
Description
This page describes the legacy function $ZBITSET. It is described here for compatibility with legacy applications.
$ZBITSET returns a permutation of bitstring in which the bit at position is set to truthval(0 or 1).
Parameters
position
Positive integer that specifies a location in bitstring. It can be specified as a value, a variable, or an expression. Bits are counted left-to-right, with the first bit counted as number 1.
truthval
Single-bit binary value (0 or 1).
Example
The following example creates a bitstring using $ZBITSTR, then sets a bit using $ZBITSET.
SET bitstring=$ZBITSTR(5,0)
SET newbitstring=$ZBITSET(bitstring,3,1)
If bitstring=[0,0,0,0,0], position=3, and truthval=1, then the result of $ZBITSET would be a bitstring with the value [0,0,1,0,0].
