# Documentation

class Num a => Bits a where Source

The `Bits` class defines bitwise operations over integral types.

- Bits are numbered from 0 with bit 0 being the least significant bit.

Minimal complete definition: `.&.`, `.|.`, `xor`, `complement`, (`shift` or (`shiftL` and `shiftR`)), (`rotate` or (`rotateL` and `rotateR`)), `bitSize` and `isSigned`.

Methods

(.&.) :: a -> a -> aSource

Bitwise "and"

(.|.) :: a -> a -> aSource

Bitwise "or"

xor :: a -> a -> aSource

Bitwise "xor"

complement :: a -> aSource

Reverse all the bits in the argument

shift :: a -> Int -> aSource

``shift` x i` shifts `x` left by `i` bits if `i` is positive, or right by `-i` bits otherwise. Right shifts perform sign extension on signed number types; i.e. they fill the top bits with 1 if the `x` is negative and with 0 otherwise.

An instance can define either this unified `shift` or `shiftL` and `shiftR`, depending on which is more convenient for the type in question.

rotate :: a -> Int -> aSource

``rotate` x i` rotates `x` left by `i` bits if `i` is positive, or right by `-i` bits otherwise.

For unbounded types like `Integer`, `rotate` is equivalent to `shift`.

An instance can define either this unified `rotate` or `rotateL` and `rotateR`, depending on which is more convenient for the type in question.

bit :: Int -> aSource

`bit i` is a value with the `i`th bit set and all other bits clear

setBit :: a -> Int -> aSource

`x `setBit` i` is the same as `x .|. bit i`

clearBit :: a -> Int -> aSource

`x `clearBit` i` is the same as `x .&. complement (bit i)`

complementBit :: a -> Int -> aSource

`x `complementBit` i` is the same as `x `xor` bit i`

testBit :: a -> Int -> Bool Source

Return `True` if the `n`th bit of the argument is 1

bitSize :: a -> Int Source

Return the number of bits in the type of the argument. The actual value of the argument is ignored. The function `bitSize` is undefined for types that do not have a fixed bitsize, like `Integer`.

isSigned :: a -> Bool Source

Return `True` if the argument is a signed type. The actual value of the argument is ignored

shiftL :: a -> Int -> aSource

Shift the argument left by the specified number of bits (which must be non-negative).

An instance can define either this and `shiftR` or the unified `shift`, depending on which is more convenient for the type in question.

shiftR :: a -> Int -> aSource

Shift the first argument right by the specified number of bits (which must be non-negative). Right shifts perform sign extension on signed number types; i.e. they fill the top bits with 1 if the `x` is negative and with 0 otherwise.

An instance can define either this and `shiftL` or the unified `shift`, depending on which is more convenient for the type in question.

rotateL :: a -> Int -> aSource

Rotate the argument left by the specified number of bits (which must be non-negative).

An instance can define either this and `rotateR` or the unified `rotate`, depending on which is more convenient for the type in question.

rotateR :: a -> Int -> aSource

Rotate the argument right by the specified number of bits (which must be non-negative).

An instance can define either this and `rotateL` or the unified `rotate`, depending on which is more convenient for the type in question.
