Re: Binary math operations (and, or, etc.)



When I try either of these scripts, the following inputs produce the "No can do!" dialog:

  andorxorit(3670288, 1048576)   -> toand should be 1048576
  andorxorit(3010440, 1048576)   -> toand should be 0

What I'm trying to do is see if a certain bit or bits is set.

Steve

Are you sure you mean those reverses, Deivy?

  toxor of andorxorit(1110, "1111")
  -->"1000"


Tweak as much as you want


This is a bit faster and can handle bit patterns of unequal length:

  on andorxorit(a, b)
    script o
      property x : a div 1
      property y : b div 1
    end script

    if (a > b) then
      set c to a reference to o's x
    else
      set c to a reference to o's y
    end if

set andit to {}
set orit to {}
set xorit to {}
repeat until (c < 1)
set {aj, bj, o's x, o's y} to {(o's x) mod 10, (o's y) mod 10, (o's
x) div 10, (o's y) div 10}
if (aj > 1) or (bj > 1) then
display dialog "no can do!"
return -- something
end if
set sum to (aj + bj) div 1
set beginning of andit to sum div 2
set beginning of orit to (sum + 1) div 2
set beginning of xorit to sum mod 2
end repeat
set andit to andit as string
set orit to orit as string
set xorit to xorit as string
return {toand:andit, toor:orit, toxor:xorit}
end andorxorit
