bit.test()

This function returns the Boolean value (true or false) of a bit at the specified index position.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Function No
Usage
result = bit.test(value, index)
result
value
index
Details
This function returns result, which is the result of the tested bit.
The least significant bit value is at index position 1; the most significant bit is at index position 32.
If the indexed bit for value is 0, result is false. If the bit of value at index is 1, the returned value is true.
If index is bigger than the number of bits in value, the result is false.
Example
myResult = bit.test(10, 4)
print(myResult)
