Getbit

getbit returns the bit value of a bit from an integer. The result is an integer that can have a value of 0 or 1.

Syntax

  getBit( INT_VALUE, BIT_TO_GET)

• INT_VALUE Integer to get the bit from. (TinyInt, ShortInt, Integer)
• BIT_TO_GET Number of the bit to return. Bit numbers start at 1.

Syntax

  getbit(E,N)

Example

 Local Integer INT_VALUE,RESULT
 INT_VALUE=8
 RESULT = getBit(INT_VALUE,4)    # RESULT = 1. Note Bit numbers start at 1, not 0. That  is 2^(4-1)=8
