Oops, I got bitSlice wrong, hence and and or won't be right. bitSlice should be:
bitSlice <- function(x, from, length) shiftR(x, from) %% 2^length Bill Dunlap TIBCO Software wdunlap tibco.com On Thu, Jun 5, 2014 at 3:31 PM, William Dunlap <wdun...@tibco.com> wrote: >> Double allows me to >> store large numbers but I can not perform bitwise shifting. > > It is a nuisance that bitwShiftL and bitwShitR don't just shift (and > wrap around to negative) for integers so you could use all 32 bits. > You could use doubles and multiply (*) and divide (%/%) by 2^n instead > of shifting left and right by n bits.
