Elixir v1.6.1 Bitwise View Source

A set of macros that perform calculations on bits.

The macros in this module come in two flavors: named or operators. For example:

iex> use Bitwise
iex> bnot 1   # named
-2
iex> 1 &&& 1  # operator
1

If you prefer to use only operators or skip them, you can pass the following options:

  • :only_operators - includes only operators
  • :skip_operators - skips operators

For example:

iex> use Bitwise, only_operators: true
iex> 1 &&& 1
1

When invoked with no options, use Bitwise is equivalent to import Bitwise.

All bitwise macros can be used in guards:

iex> use Bitwise
iex> odd? = fn int when band(int, 1) == 1 -> true; _ -> false end
iex> odd?.(1)
true
