bitval

Purpose

Compute the value corresponding to a bit number.

Synopsis

function bitval(i:integer):integer

Argument

i	Bit number (between 0 and 31)

Return value

Value of the selected bit.

Example

In the following, i takes the value 1, j takes the value -2147483648, and k takes the value 16:

i:= bitval(0)
j:= bitval(7)
k:= bitval(4)

Further information

This function computes the value corresponding to a bit number. The evaluation of bitval(i) corresponds to bitshift(1,i)
