The Bit API is for manipulating numbers using bitwise binary operations.

Methods

Method name Description
bit.tobits(n) Converts a number to an array (numerically-indexed table) containing the corresponding binary bit values
bit.blshift(n, bits) Shifts a number left by a specified number of bits
bit.brshift(n, bits) Shifts a number right by a specified number of bits
bit.bxor(m, n) Computes the bitwise exclusive OR of two numbers
bit.bor(m, n) Computes the bitwise inclusive OR of two numbers
bit.band(m, n) Computes the bitwise AND of two numbers
bit.bnot(n) Computes the bitwise NOT of a number
bit.tonumb(bit_tbl) Converts an array (numerically-indexed table) of 0 and 1 values representing a number in binary into that number
