logbitpFunction

    Syntax

    logbitp index integer generalized-boolean

    Arguments and Values

    index — a non-negative integer.

    integer — an integer.

    generalized-boolean — a generalized boolean.

    Description

    logbitp is used to test the value of a particular bit in integer, that is treated as if it were binary. The value of logbitp is true if the bit in integer whose index is index (that is, its weight is 2index) is a one-bit; otherwise it is false.

    Negative integers are treated as if they were in two’s-complement notation.

    Examples
    (logbitp 1 1)  false 
    (logbitp 0 1)  true 
    (logbitp 3 10)  true 
    (logbitp 1000000 -1)  true 
    (logbitp 2 6)  true 
    (logbitp 0 6)  false
    Exceptional Situations

    Should signal an error of type type-error if index is not a non-negative integer. Should signal an error of type type-error if integer is not an integer.
