[Coco] replicating bitwise operators in BASIC

[Salvador Garcia]

Maybe this will shed some light?

It seems as though it is a much more involved process if we do not have the logical operators :-) Salvador

Bogus test?

1.5  =  0b01.10
3.25 =  0b11.01

The fractional part would disappear even if BASIC did keep the fractions.
:)

As the OP... I point out nobody actually answered my intended question:
what if we had no AND, OR, or NOT... is it possible to replicate these from
other means?

Lost:  I consider USR()'ing cheating. ;)

cheers, brett
