bit.bitxor()
Details
Logic and bit operations (on page 13-17)
bit.bitor() (on page 13-18)
Example
Performs a bitwise logical exclusive OR operation on decimal 10 (binary 1010) with
decimal 9 (binary 1001); will return a value of decimal 3 (binary 0011):
value = bit.bitxor(10, 9)
print(value)
Output: 3.000000e+00
bit.clear()
Function
Clears a bit at a given index position.
Usage
value = bit.clear(value1, index)
value1: Given number.
index: Index position of the bit to be cleared (1 to 32).
value: Returns the result of the manipulation.
Remarks
This function clears a bit at a given index position.
Any fractional part of value1 is truncated to make it an integer. The returned
value is also an integer.
The least significant bit of the given number is at index 1. The most significant bit is
at index 32.

bit.setfield() (on page 13-21)
bit.toggle() (on page 13-23)
Example
The binary equivalent of decimal 15 is 1111. If you clear the bit at index position 2, the
returned decimal value would be 13 (binary 1101):
value = bit.clear(15, 2)
print(value)
Output: 1.300000e+01
bit.get()
Function
Retrieves the weighted value of a bit at a given index position.
Usage
value = bit.get(value1, index)
value1: Given number.
index: Index position of the bit to be retrieved (1 to 32).
value: Returned weighted value of the bit.
