bitset

Sets bits of given indices in some integers

Syntax

y = bitset(x, bitInd)
y = bitset(x, bitInd, bitVal)

Parameters

x

positive decimal or encoded integers (all inttypes supported), whose bits must be set. Supported sizes: scalar, vector, matrix, hypermatrix.

bitInd

Indices of bits to be set: Array of positive decimal or encoded integers (all inttypes supported), whose values are in the interval [1 bitmax] where bitmax is the maximal index of bits for the type of x. The bit #1 is the lightest one (20).

typeof(x)bitmax..typeof(x)bitmax
int87 uint88
int1615uint1616
int3231uint3232
int6463uint1664
decimal1024

  • If the size of bitInd matches x's one, the processing is performed element-wise: For every index i in x, the bit #bitInd(i) is set in x(i).

  • If x has N dimensions and the N first sizes of bitInd match x ones, and bitInd has N+1 dimensions, then for each x(i1,i2,..iN), all its bits #bitInd(i1,i2,..iN, :) are set.

  • Otherwise: bitInd must be a vector of length<= bitmax. Then, all the bits listed in bitInd are set in all x components.

bitVal

Array of values 0 or 1 as decimal or encoded integers (all inttypes supported) : values to which respective bits must be set. bitVal has either the size of bitInd, or it is scalar (then the same value is used for all bits).

y

Processed x, with the same size and data type (and integer type) as x.

Description

Sets the bits of x indicated by bitInd, either to 1 or to the given values bitVal.

Examples

Setting one or several bits in a scalar:

n = int8(20);
ns = bitset(n, [1 3 6]) // setting bits #1 #3 #6 (to 1 by default)
bitget([n ns], 1:7)     // bits content before / after setting

ns = bitset(n, [1 3 6], [1 0 1]) // to explicit bits values
bitget([n ns], 1:7)
--> n = int8(20);
--> ns = bitset(n, [1 3 6]) // setting bits #1 #3 #6 (to 1 by default)
 ns  =
  53

--> bitget([n ns], 1:7)     // bits content before / after setting
 ans  =
  0  0  1  0  1  0  0
  1  0  1  0  1  1  0

--> ns = bitset(n, [1 3 6], [1 0 1]) // to explicit bits values
 ns  =
  49

--> bitget([n ns], 1:7)
 ans  =
  0  0  1  0  1  0  0
  1  0  0  0  1  1  0

Setting the same bits to the same respective values for all input elements:

n = uint16([28  59; 23  19])
ns = bitset(n, [3 5], [1 0])
bitget(n, 1:8)
bitget(ns,1:8)
--> n = uint16([28  59; 23  19])
 n  =
  28  59
  23  19

--> ns = bitset(n, [3 5], [1 0])
 ns  =
  12  47
   7   7

--> bitget(n, 1:8)
 ans  =
  0  0  1  1  1  0  0  0
  1  1  1  0  1  0  0  0
  1  1  0  1  1  1  0  0
  1  1  0  0  1  0  0  0

--> bitget(ns,1:8)
 ans  =
  0  0  1  1  0  0  0  0
  1  1  1  0  0  0  0  0
  1  1  1  1  0  1  0  0
  1  1  1  0  0  0  0  0

Setting a single bit of each element of an array, at a bit index depending on the element, in an element-wise way:

n = uint16([94 78 ; 6 19])
ns = bitset(n, [2 4 ; 3 5], 0)            // To the same bit value 0
ns2 = bitset(n, [1 3 ; 2 4], [1 0 ; 0 1]) // To respective bits values
// Analysis:
bitget(ns, 1:8)  // #[2 3 4 5] set to 0
bitget(n, 1:8)   // input
bitget(ns2, 1:8) // #[1 2 3 4] set to [1 0 0 1]
--> n = uint16([94 78 ; 6 19])
 n  =
  94  78
   6  19

--> ns = bitset(n, [2 4 ; 3 5], 0)            // To the same bit value 0
 ns  =
  92  70
   2   3

--> ns2 = bitset(n, [1 3 ; 2 4], [1 0 ; 0 1]) // To respective bits values
 ns2  =
  95  74
   4  27

--> // Analysis:
--> bitget(ns, 1:8)    // #[2 3 4 5] set to 0
 ans  =
  0  0  1  1  1  0  1  0
  0  1  0  0  0  0  0  0
  0  1  1  0  0  0  1  0
  1  1  0  0  0  0  0  0

  0  1  1  1  0  0  1  0
  1  1  0  0  1  0  0  0

--> bitget(ns2, 1:8)    // #[1 2 3 4] set to [1 0 0 1]
