Bitwise NON EQUIVALENCE operator.

The bitwise operators perform operations of bitwise AND, bitwise OR, bitwise NOT and bitwise non-equivalence.

The priority of these operators is less binding that the arithmetic ones, but more binding that the comparisons.

Parentheses may be used as above to force particular groupings.

Syntax

a # b  (bitwise NON EQUIVALENCE)

where the arguments \(a\) and \(b\) may be further expressions. They are converted to the nearest integer to machine precision and then the operation is performed.

Examples

Here is an example for the bitwise-group, comparing the different bitwise opcodes. It uses the file bitwise-group.csd.
