'<< (left shift), '>> (right shift),
'?& (bitwise AND), '?| (bitwise OR), '?^ (bitwise XOR)

Synchronous bitwise operators

Syntax

'<<
'>>
'?&
'?|
'?^

Options

None

Inlets

param1

The left inlet. Any value received via this inlet is used with the value in the right inlet param2, and the result is sent via the outlet result.

Type: Changeable

param2

The right inlet. Any value received via this inlet is used with the value in the left inlet param1.

Type: Changeable

Outlets

result

Type: Changeable

Comments

These operators implement the low-level bitwise functions found in languages like C. The symbols of the bitwise and, or and xor operators has been altered because the corresponding symbols in C are reserved in OSW for more frequently used operations.

The bitwise operators currently only operate on Integers.

These operators only output a result when new values have been received by both inlets. Thus, if a new value is received by param1, no result will be computed until a value is received by param2 as well. If this is not the behavior you want, try the regular (asynchronous) bitwise operators instead.
