Given a number, for example 16877, I want to test a bit position (pos) to see if 0 or 1.
For instance, I know that the above number is digit wise reppresented as 100000111101101.
Considering numbers should be stored in erlang's vm as binary already, what function can I use to, say:
Pos = 1,
Bit = getBit ( Pos , 16877 ).
This ought to do it.
bit(Number, Bit) ->
(Number bsr Bit) band 1.
Use bitwise operators, Luke!
getBit(Pos, Number) ->
case (1 bsl Pos) band Number of
0 -> 0;
_ -> 1
end.
The function accepts position from 0 but if you like 1-based indexes, feel free to decrease Pos:
1> Fun = fun(Pos, Num) -> case (1 bsl Pos) band Num of 0 -> 0; _ -> 1 end end.
#Fun<erl_eval.12.82930912>
2> Fun(0, 16877).
1
3> Fun(1, 16877).
0
4> Fun(2, 16877).
1
5> Fun(3, 16877).
1
I don't know if there is something like this in a library, but here is an implementation:
get_bit(1, Num) -> Num rem 2;
get_bit(Pos, Num) -> get_bit(Pos-1, Num div 2).
And the output:
1> test:get_bit(2, 16877).
0
2> test:get_bit(3, 16877).
1
3> test:get_bit(6, 16877).
1
4> test:get_bit(10, 16877).
0
5> test:get_bit(11, 16877).
