BitRRotate

From Multi Theft Auto: Wiki

This functions performs a bitwise circular right-rotation on the integer value by integer n positions. See Bitwise operation for more details.

Syntax

int bitRRotate ( int value, int n )

Required arguments

  • value: The value you want to perform the rotation on.
  • n: The amount of positions to rotate the value by.

Returns

Returns the circular right-rotated value as integer.

Client

This example adds the clientside command /rightrotate [value] [positions = 1], which will print the result from the function bitRRotate.

function getNumberAsBitString(value)
    if type(value) ~= 'number' then
        return false
    else
        local binary = ''

        for field = 31, 0, -1 do
            binary = binary .. bitExtract(value, field)

            if field % 4 == 0 then
                binary = binary ..' '
            end
        end

        return binary
    end
end

addCommandHandler('rightrotate',
    function (command, value, positions)
        if type(value) ~= 'string' or value:len() == 0 then
            return outputChatBox('* Syntax: /rightrotate [value] [positions = 1]')
        end

        if type(positions) ~= 'string' or positions:len() == 0 then
            positions = 1
        end

        local result = bitRRotate(tonumber(value), tonumber(positions))
        local binary = getNumberAsBitString(result)

        outputChatBox('* Decimal: '.. result ..', Binary: '.. binary)
    end
)

If you trigger the command with /rightrotate 0xFF0000 16 you will receive as response:

* Decimal: 255, Binary: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 1111 1111
