A binary convolution is described by a number M, and is applied to a number N. For each bit in the binary representation of M, if the bit is set (1), the corresponding bit in the output is given by XORing the two bits adjacent to the corresponding bit in N (wrapping around when necessary). If the bit is not set (0), then the corresponding bit in the output is given by the corresponding bit in N.

A worked example (with 8-bit values):

  1. Let N = 150, M = 59. Their binary respresentations are (respectively) 10010110 and 00111011.
  2. Based on M's binary representation, bits 0, 1, 3, 4, and 5 are convolved.
    1. The result for bit 0 is given by XORing bits 1 and 7 (since we wrap around), yielding 1.
    2. The result for bit 1 is given by XORing bits 0 and 2, yielding 0.
    3. The result for bit 2 is given by the original bit 2, yielding 1.
    4. The result for bit 3 is given by XORing bits 2 and 4, yielding 0.
    5. The result for bit 4 is given by XORing bits 3 and 5, yielding 0.
    6. The result for bit 5 is given by XORing bits 4 and 6, yielding 1.
    7. The results for bits 6 and 7 are given by the original bits 6 and 7, yielding 0 and 1.
  3. The output is thus 10100110 (166).

The Challenge

Given N and M, output the result of performing the binary convolution described by M upon N. Input and output may be in any convenient, consistent, and unambiguous format. N and M will always be in the (inclusive) range [0, 255] (8-bit unsigned integers), and their binary representations should be padded to 8 bits for performing the binary convolution.

2#.[:({"_1],._1&|.~:1&|.)/(8#2)#:]

Straight-forward approach that applies the process defined in the challenge. Takes input as an array [n, m].

Forms seven smileys, [:, :(, :1, (8, 8#, #:, and :].

Usage

   f =: 2#.[:({"_1],._1&|.~:1&|.)/(8#2)#:]

import Data.Bits
n%m=n.&.(255-m)+(rotate n 1`xor`rotate n(-1)).&.m

Works as intended when called with Word8 data. Replace (255-m) with complement m (+5 bytes) to make the function work with any unsigned integral datatype.
