Size Limitations When Base = HEX or BIN

When Base=HEX or BIN, an integer result is stored internally as a signed, 32-bit binary

number, which uses the range (shown in hexadecimal and decimal):

If a result’s magnitude is too large to be stored in a signed, 32-bit binary form, a

symmetric modulo operation brings the result into the range. Any number greater than

0h7FFFFFFF is affected. For example, 0h80000000 through 0hFFFFFFFF become

negative numbers.

Comparing or Manipulating Bits

The following operators and functions let you compare or manipulate bits in a binary

number. You can enter an integer in any number base. Your entries are converted to

binary automatically for the bitwise operation, and results are displayed according to the

Base mode.Boolean Operations

Operator with syntax Description

not integer Returns the one’s complement, where each bit

is flipped.

? integer

Returns the two’s complement, which is the

one’s complement + 1.
