Some obscure commands I am puzzling over...

wassup · Post by **wassup** » Thu Oct 23, 2003 1:56 pm

Not really sure these commands would be of any real use in MQ, but I have not been able to figure out if they work.

/varand
/varor
/varrshift
/varlshift

I can see a use for /varlshift and /varrshift, if they work in the way I expect, but everything I have tried in testing these two commands doesn't seem togive the expected result.

Could a dev check these commands and see if they actually work? If they do could you post the format for using them?

35 views and no one has a reply?

Anyone ever used these in a macro?

/varand and /varor are bitwise and and or functions:

Code: Select all

sub main
/declare v0 local

/varset v0 3
/varand v0 1

/echo 3&1 is 1 -> @v0

/varset v0 1
/varor v0 2

/echo 1|2 is 3 -> @v0

/return

/varrshift and /varlshift are the >> and << operators (shift all bits over, basically the fastest 2^n functions)

Code: Select all

/declare test local

/varset test 8
/varrshift test 2
/echo 8>>2 is @test 

/varset test 1
/varlshift test 4
/echo 1<<4 is @test

I knew what each of them were, I just didn't know the syntax for each in MQ.

Have them all updated in the documentation now. Thanks for the examples to help me with it.
