Example.
'use strict'
var bitball
var flagSet
bitball = require('bitball')
flagSet = new bitball.BitSet(18) // Defaults to 8 bits if a size isn't provided.
console.log('flagSet{0}: ' + ((flagSet.get(0) === true) ? '1' : '0'))
console.log('flagSet{17}: ' + ((flagSet.get(17) === true) ? '1' : '0'))
flagSet.set(17, true)
console.log('flagSet{17}: ' + ((flagSet.get(17) === true) ? '1' : '0'))
flagSet.flip(17)
console.log('flagSet{17}: ' + ((flagSet.get(17) === true) ? '1' : '0'))
// Take a look at the tests.
API.
new bitball.BitSet(numberOfBits : Number = 8) -> bitball.BitSet
Constructs a new BitSet
object to hold your fancy bits. Allocates as few bytes as possible. numberOfBits
defaults to 8
bits.
bitball.BitSet.prototype.flip(bitIndex : Number, allowIndexOverflow : Boolean) -> undefined
Flips the bit at bitIndex
.
The allowIndexOverflow
boolean allows you to control what happens if bitIndex
is bigger than the number of bits you specified during construction.
- If
allowIndexOverflow
istrue
, then.flip(...)
will fail silently. - If
allowIndexOverflow
isfalse
, then an exception will be thrown.
bitball.BitSet.prototype.get(bitIndex : Number, dontThrow : Boolean) -> Boolean|null
Gets the value of the bit at bitIndex
.
The dontThrow
boolean allows you to control what happens if bitIndex
is bigger than the number of bits you specified during construction.
- If
dontThrow
istrue
, then.get(...)
will returnnull
. - If
dontThrow
isfalse
, then an exception will be thrown.
bitball.BitSet.prototype.resize(numberOfBits : Number) -> undefined
Resizes the BitSet
as necessary to make sure it can hold numberOfBits
bits.
bitball.BitSet.prototype.set(bitIndex : Number, bitValue : Boolean, forceResize : Boolean) -> undefined
Sets the value of the bit at bitIndex
to bitValue
.
The forceResize
boolean allows you to control what happens if bitIndex
is bigger than the number of bits you specified during construction.
- If
forceResize
istrue
, then.set(...)
will call.resize(bitIndex + 1)
. - If
forceResize
isfalse
, then an exception will be thrown.
bitball.BitSet.prototype.length -> Number
Returns the number of bits this BitSet
object can hold (i.e., the biggest index + 1).
