Description

returns the bitwise operation applied to the arguments

Usage

bitAnd(a, b)
bitOr (a, b)
bitXor(a, b)

Arguments

Details

The bitwise operations are applied to the arguments cast as 32 bit (unigned long) integers. NA is returned wherever the magnitude of the arguments is not less than 2**31, or, where either of the arguments is not finite.

Value
