what does comparison "<<" do?

[Zirius 1]

I am wondering what does "<<" do in euphy's WOE controller?

 

if ($WOE_CONTROL[.@i+3]&(1<<.@j)) mes "  ~ "+getcastlename(.Castles$[.@j])+" ^777777("+.Castles$[.@j]+")^000000";

 

Thanks!

1. correct

 

by the way this script isn't mine

my original script from eathena use OnTue20000: something-like labels

asking members to put in the labels for start time and end time

( see my King of Emperium Hill script )

its Euphy that he improvise to make this script configurable in-game

 

 

 

2.

in SQL, to remove a value is actually 'NULL', and '0' is a value

in athena, '0' means both

 

also means, if SQL doesn't list a value, it means 0 with athena script language

 

your values are

 

1st session has woe on Sunday (0), starts from 12am (0) ~ 1am (1)

with the castle ID 32 = 2^5

"payg_cas01" <- this 1 castle is on

 

2nd session has woe on Sunday (0), starts from 1am (1) ~ 2am (2)

with the castle ID 4 = 2^2

"prtg_cas03" <-- this 1 castle is on

 

3rd session has woe on Thursday (4), starts from 10pm (22) ~ 11pm (23)

with the castle ID 32 = 2^5

"payg_cas01" <-- this 1 castle is on

 

4th session has woe on Friday (5), starts from 10pm (22) ~ 11pm (23)

with the castle ID 4 = 2^2

"prtg_cas03" <-- this 1 castle is on

Logical bitwise operators work only on numbers, and they are the following: << - Left shift. >> - Right shift.	Left shift moves the binary 1(s) of a number n positions to the left,     which is the same as multiplying by 2, n times.	In the other hand, Right shift moves the binary 1(s) of a number n     positions to the right, which is the same as dividing by 2, n times.		Example:		b = 2;		a =  b << 3;		mes a;		a = a >> 2;		mes a;	The first mes command would display 16, which is the same as:     2 x (2 x 2 x 2) = 16.	The second mes command would display 4, which is the same as:     16 / 2 = 8; 8 / 2 = 4.

script_commands.txt says it all.

P.S: Its not a comparision sign, its shift signs(binary)

This is going to make me cry. Have no knowledge with binary.

 

Bro, say, i = 0, and j=0

 

what is this trying to call?

$WOE_CONTROL[.@i+3]&(1<<.@j)

 

also, what does & do in that function? and what actually is it trying to do?

Suppose if

$WOE_CONTROL[0],1,3,4,7;

i=0 that means .@i+3 = 0+3 = 3, it will call $WOE_CONTROL[3](which have value 7 as mentioned on above line)

So if .@j = 2

(1<<2) = 4, putting all in the statement , it will look like "7&4" Which will be true, & means that the first value contains second value or not(don't know how to explain if you are not familiar with binary)

 

& Defination on Script_Command:

The bitwise operator AND (&) is used to test two values against each     other, and results in setting bits which are active in both arguments.     This can be used for a few things, but in Hercules this operator is     usually used to create bit-masks in scripts.

Thank you very much for patience bro.

 

if (7&4)

will return true because 7 contains 4?

did I understand it correctly?

7&4 will return 4

7&1 will return 0

 

Want to try those values yourself? Open your Calculator(provided with windows) and use Programmer Mode

for typing & , press "AND" button, "<<" = "LSHFT", ">>" = "RSHFT"

 

Edit: o_O Annie Viewing topic, probably would answer better than me.

[Zirius 1]

LOL. I guess I should start watching binary introduction videos.

 

What I am just trying to do is understand how Euphy stored the castlename's data. I successfully made it to "echo" the data and store them all in single array via external PHP file. but if I create more than 1 session, I do not understand it anymore. LOL.

 

Actually, I just want to convert this into PHP language:

 

		mes "[Schedule]";		if (.Size) {			freeloop(1);			for(set .@i,0; .@i<.Size; set .@i,.@i+4) {				mes "> ^FF0000"+.Days$[$WOE_CONTROL[.@i]]+" ("+Add_Zero($WOE_CONTROL[.@i+1])+"-"+Add_Zero($WOE_CONTROL[.@i+2])+")^000000";				for(set .@j,0; .@j<30; set .@j,.@j+1)					if ($WOE_CONTROL[.@i+3]&(1<<.@j)) mes "  ~ "+getcastlename(.Castles$[.@j])+" ^777777("+.Castles$[.@j]+")^000000";				if (.@i+4 < .Size) mes " ";			}			freeloop(0);		} else			mes "No times are configured.";		next;

this is as far as I got:

	$Castles=array(		"prtg_cas01","prtg_cas02","prtg_cas03","prtg_cas04","prtg_cas05",		"payg_cas01","payg_cas02","payg_cas03","payg_cas04","payg_cas05",		"gefg_cas01","gefg_cas02","gefg_cas03","gefg_cas04","gefg_cas05",		"aldeg_cas01","aldeg_cas02","aldeg_cas03","aldeg_cas04","aldeg_cas05",		"arug_cas01","arug_cas02","arug_cas03","arug_cas04","arug_cas05",		"schg_cas01","schg_cas02","schg_cas03","schg_cas04","schg_cas05");	$Days = array("Sunday","Monday","Tuesday","Wednesday","Thursday","Friday","Saturday");	$result = mysql_query('SELECT * FROM mapreg WHERE varname="$WOE_CONTROL"');	$WOE_CONTROL = array();	while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {	  $WOE_CONTROL[$row['index']] = $row['value'];	}	$x=0;	while($x<count($WOE_CONTROL)) {		echo '<br />';		echo $Days[$WOE_CONTROL[$x]];		echo '<br />';		echo $WOE_CONTROL[$x+1] .":00 - ". $WOE_CONTROL[$x+2] .":00";			$j=0;			while($j<30) {				if ($WOE_CONTROL[$x+3]&(1<<$j)) {					echo "  ~ ".$Castles$[$j];				}				if ($x+4 < count($WOE_CONTROL)) {echo " "};				$j=j+1;			}		$x=$x+4;	}

Edit: o_O Annie Viewing topic, probably would answer better than me.

LOL ... you did well though

I thought can let you handle ... oh well

 

anyways,

play around with this little script that I wrote during eathena period ... sh*t eathena forum down

so I make a new one

prontera,156,184,5	script	ksdkfjhdkshfj	100,{	.@difficulty = 4; // change this from 1 to 30 ( athena script engine allows up to 2^32 -1 )	mes "Guess the total value of ^0000FF"+( .@value = rand( 1, 1 << .@difficulty ) )+"^000000 ?";	next;	while (1) {		.@menu$ = "";		for ( .@i = 0; .@i < .@difficulty; .@i++ )			.@menu$ = .@menu$ +( ( .@answer & 1 << .@i )? "^00FF00" : "^FF0000" )+"1 << "+ .@i +":";		.@s = select( .@menu$ ) -1;		.@answer = .@answer ^ 1 << .@s;		if ( .@answer == .@value ) break;	}	mes "Correct ! The answer is ";	for ( .@i = 0; .@i < .@difficulty; .@i++ ) {		if ( .@answer & 1 << .@i ) {			.@ans$[.@c] = 1 << .@i;			.@c++;		}	}	mes implode( .@ans$, "+" );	close;}

1 << 0 = 1 ( also means 2⁰ -> 2 power of 0 -> you press the scientific calculator as 2^0 )

1 << 1 = 2 ( also means 2¹ -> 2 power of 1 -> you press the scientific calculator as 2^1 )

1 << 2 = 4 ( also means 2² -> 2 power of 2 -> you press the scientific calculator as 2^2 )

... and so on

 

so, if the script randoms a number of 14

the correct answer is 2+4+8

which means

1<<1 + 1<<2 + 1<<3

also means

2¹ + 2² + 2³

 

also means

14 & 0 == false

14 & 1 == true

14 & 2 == true

14 & 4 == true

 

---

 

in euphy script, which actually ... copy mine ... I wish I can show you the topic in eathena

"prtg_cas01" uses 1<<0 ... "prtg_cas02" use 1<<1 and so on ( see setarray .Castles$[0] )

so if

$WOE_CONTROL[0] = 0

$WOE_CONTROL[1] = 1

$WOE_CONTROL[2] = 2

$WOE_CONTROL[3] = 3

it means, the 1st session has woe on Sunday(0), starts from 1am(1) ~ 2am(2)

with the castle ID 1+2 enable (3)

1+2 = prtg_cas01 + prtg_cas02 <-- these 2 castle on war at the time

 

if you configure another session

$WOE_CONTROL[4] = 3

$WOE_CONTROL[5] = 20

$WOE_CONTROL[6] = 22

$WOE_CONTROL[7] = 96

means 2nd session has woe on Wednesday (3), starts from 8pm (20) ~ 10pm(22)

with the castle ID 96 = 32+64 = 2⁵ + 2⁶

1<<5 + 1<<6 = "payg_cas01" and "payg_cas02" <-- these 2 castles are enabled

WOW. I do not actually know what to say. I never knew binaries are that cool, it seems you can store soooo many data in just n-digit number.
 
1) Thank you very much for making me understand those shift operators, I understand them faster and clearer than those I read on google. for now "&" is the only thing I am having confusion.
 
BTW, about the WOE controller script, if I understood it correctly mam,
you are storing the data by multiple of four, one[0] for the day, one[1] for the start time, one[2] for the end time, and one[3] for the castle
 
2) But on $WOE_CONTROL, there would come a time that the "index" will not be continuous, just like now, my current $WOE_CONTROL is now:
 

Array(    [2] => 1    [3] => 32    [5] => 1    [6] => 2    [7] => 4    [8] => 4    [9] => 22    [10] => 23    [11] => 32    [12] => 5    [13] => 22    [14] => 23    [15] => 4)

may I know mam what algorithm did you used to create those index? I coded a loop that starts at zero and do the function recursively be 4. The problem is, as shown in my current WOE_CONTROL, index 0 is missing, and some other index numbers, so my code fails.
 
3) In your example mam you have this:
 

$WOE_CONTROL[4] = 3$WOE_CONTROL[5] = 20$WOE_CONTROL[6] = 22$WOE_CONTROL[7] = 96

index [7] stores the castle name, is there a way I can decode that to show me all the integers used to build that bit? (actually, I remember having the same need for solution).

 

P.S. Is there restriction at quoting Annie Ruru's forum posts? This had been my 4th time having problem quoting her replies.

I can right now answer you to the first one question (the '&' operator) so that you'll have it nice and clear.

 

& is the bitwise AND operator, and it's done between two numbers. This means the operator does a bit-by-bit AND comparing both numbers. AND operator means: something is true (1) if A AND B are both true. Else something is false (0).

 

Let's make an example to it. What's 5 & 11?

 

First, let's place the numbers in binary form:

 

05 is 0101 in binary form;

11 is 1011 in binary form.

 

Now let's compare them bit by bit. A bit result is 1 if that bit from the first operand and from the second operand are both true, so:

 

0101 <--- 5

1011 <--- 11

-----

0001 <--- 1

 

Now you see 5 & 11 = 1.

 

Try for example what (4 & 11), (6 & 11) and (7 & 11) operations yield.

 

I'll leave the rest of the questions to miss Annie ;P

@AnnieRuru

 

Thank you very much that's all I need.

 

It is working great now, I am calling it via external PHP now, i plan on integrating this as a FluxCP module/addon.
