bits_to_int
| Definition: | atom a = bits_to_int(sequence s) |
| Description: | Convert a sequence of binary 1s and 0s into a positive number. The least-significant bit is s[1]. |
| pwa/p2js: | Supported. |
| Comments: | If you print s the bits will appear in "reverse" order, but it is convenient to have increasing subscripts access bits of increasing significance. |
| Example: |
a = bits_to_int({1,1,1,0,1})
-- a is 23 (binary 0b10111, hex #17)
|
| Implementation: | See builtins\machine.e (an autoinclude) for details of the actual implementation. |
