Axe Boolean Logic
« on: September 02, 2010, 11:20:36 pm »
I'm a bit confused about the results of this code:

Quote
:.AATEST
:ClrHome
:4→X
:For(Y,1,255)
:If X and Y
:Disp "Yes",Y►Dec,i
:Else
:Disp "No",Y►Dec,i
:End
:End

Instead of getting all "Yes", I get groups of "Yes" followed by groups of "No".
The size of the groups are equal to X.

Since this is just 8 bit logic, shouldn't this work?

Just about.  This takes the values of the numbers and applies And logic.

Example:
1010 And 0110 = 0010

to do what you want:
If X != 0 and (Y != 0)

The " and" token performs an 8-bit bitwise boolean AND. It ANDs every bit in X with the corresponding bits in Y. If none of the bit pairs are both 1s in X and Y, the resultant bits will all be 0 and the statement will be false. Seeing as only the 22 bit is set in 4, only numbers that have this bit set also will return true.

EDIT: Ninja'd, but I like my explanation better ;D

If X != 0 and (Y != 0)

A more efficient operation:
!If X or Y

EDIT 2: JK, that's completely incorrect. I forgot what he was trying to achieve.

Code: [Select]
...
If X≠0 and (Y≠0)
...
and

Code: [Select]
...
!If X or Y
...
produce different results. The first gives all "YES" and the second gives all "NO."

You're right, meishe. I forgot what he wanted the statement to do.

Axe boolean checks only the last bit of the byte pointed to I found out. to you get Yes only for odd numbers, and No for the even numbers :P
so b10101 And b0110 will be 0 And 0 for Axe, and b0101 And b0110 will be 1 and 0 for . so both numbers have to be odd.

Bool is just only the last bit of a byte!


correct me if I'm wrong, but this is what I thought based on my experiences with trying Bool-using statements as they all are...

That might be a really useful thing to note :O

I think I read somewhere that it takes one nibble from the first value and the opposite nibble from the second, though...

I don't exactly get that...

It seems if that were true, 2 and 3 would return false, but it's true.

well, it was a theory, but it's proved to be wrong I see. let's think of a new theory. Or should we perhaps just ask Quigibo? :P

Yes, "and" "or" and "xor" all operate exclusively on the low byte (8 bits).  You have to use the plot style tokens to do bit logic on 16 bit numbers.  I am thinking it could eventually be possible to have C style Boolean logic in Axe++ which would be the 2.0 version but I don't know if that would ever get completed, I have to worry about 1.0 for now and still have a long way to go.
