BINIMP

Performs a bit by bit implication operation.

BINIMP( arg, arg )

Where:

arg = numeric-expression rounded to an INTEGER

Usage:

K=BINIMP(Var,&O377)

I=BINIMP(12,J)

Example: BINIMP.BAS

Description:

The result of BINIMP(A,B) is calculated by converting A and B to integer values. Then each bit of the result is set to 1 or 0 depending on the corresponding bits in A and B. The following truth table defines the implication operation:

A	B	BINIMP(A,B)
0	0	1
0	1	1
1	0	0
1	1	1

Note that the operation is not commutative. That is, BINIMP(A,B) <> BINIMP(B,A).

The following example performs a bit by bit implication of 12 and 6:

BINIMP(12,6)

12 = 0000000000001100

6 = 0000000000000110

BINIMP(12,6) = 1111111111110111

The resulting binary number represents -9.
