Hello BCS,
Hello Andrei,
Consider:
byte c = a | b;
Say you already know min_a, max_a, min_b, and max_b. How do you
compute min_c and max_c? I thought of it for a bit and it seems quite
tricky.
x_bit_max == "the largest bit in x_max ^ x_min"
x_oth_max == x_bit_max - 1;
// or make that
c_min = (a_max & ~(a_bit_max | a_oth_max);
c_max = max(a_bit_max | b_oth_max, b_bit_max | a_oth_max) | c_min;
c_max = max(a_bit_max | b_oth_max, b_bit_max | a_oth_max) | (a_max &
~(a_bit_max | a_oth_max));
