View source: R/bitops.R

Bitwise operations, ‘and’ (&), ‘or’ (|), and ‘Xor’ (xor).

bitAnd(a, b)
a %&% b
bitOr (a, b)
a %|% b
bitXor(a, b)
a %^% b

a,b

numeric vectors of compatible length, each treated as 32 bit “strings”.

The bitwise operations are applied to the arguments cast as 32 bit (unsigned 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.

For bitwise ‘not’ (! in R), use bitFlip().

non-negative integer valued numeric vector of maximum length of a or b.

bitAnd(15,7) == 7 ;  identical(15 %&% 7, bitAnd(15, 7))
bitOr(15,7) == 15 ;  identical(15 %|% 7, bitOr (15, 7))
bitXor(15,7) == 8 ;  identical(15 %^% 7, bitXor(15,7))
bitOr(-1,0) == 4294967295 ; identical(-1 %|% 0, bitOr(-1,0))
