Module (chicken bitwise)

Binary integer operations are provided by the (chicken bitwise) module.

Binary integer operations

(bitwise-and N1 ...)(bitwise-ior N1 ...)(bitwise-xor N1 ...)(bitwise-not N)(arithmetic-shift N1 N2)

Binary integer operations. arithmetic-shift shifts the argument N1 by N2 bits to the left. If N2 is negative, then N1 is shifted to the right. These operations only accept exact integers.

bit->boolean

[procedure] (bit->boolean N INDEX)

Returns #t if the bit at the position INDEX in the integer N is set, or #f otherwise. The rightmost/least-significant bit is bit 0.

integer-length

[procedure] (integer-length N)

Returns the number of bits needed to represent the exact integer N in 2's complement notation.
