BITWISE operators...Hi Folks, Another question - is there a way (fast) to do bitwise operations in Sinclair BASIC? Many thanks Paddy
Next version (1.2.6) of ZX BASIC Compiler by Boriel will have fast binary operations BAND, BOR, BNOT and BXOR, later versions also seting, reseting and testing of single bits. Already available is bitshifting. Surely worth a download. -
