/\(+Number1, +Number2, -Result)
Evaluates the bitwise conjunction Number1 /\ Number2 and unifies the
resulting value with Result.
- Number1
- Integer.
- Number2
- Integer.
- Result
- Output: integer.
Description
This predicate is used by the ECLiPSe compiler to expand evaluable
arithmetic expressions. So the call to /\(Number1, Number2, Result) is
equivalent to
Result is Number1 /\ Number2
which should be preferred for portability.
This operation behaves as if operating on an unlimited length two's
complement representation.
In coroutining mode, if Number1 or Number2 are uninstantiated, the call
to /\/3 is delayed until these variables are instantiated.
Modes and Determinism
Exceptions
- (4) instantiation fault
- Number1 or Number2 is not instantiated (non-coroutining mode only).
- (5) type error
- Number1 or Number2 is a number but not an integer.
- (24) number expected
- Number1 or Number2 is not of a numeric type.
Examples
Result is 11 /\ 7. % gives Result = 3
Result is -11 /\ 7. % gives Result = 5
