In javascript you can set and clear an individual bit value without having to use Number(n).toString(2)
const setBit = (num, position) => {
let mask = 1 << position
return num |= mask
}
const clearBit = (num, position) => {
let mask = ~(1 << position)
return num &= mask
}
Is it possible to get a bit value in a similar way without having to call toString?
const getBit = (num, position) => num >> position & 1;
console.log( getBit(0b1010, 1) )
Depending what the result should be. Is a boolean return enough? to check if the Bit at a specified position is set. Or should the output be of the whole number?
const getBit = (num, position) => {
return (num & (2**position)) > 0;
}
console.info("Number ", 2, " on postion ", 1, getBit (2,1))
console.info("Number ", 2, " on postion ",0 , getBit (2,0))
const getBit = (num, position) => +!!(num & (2**position))
