Bit Test

rdf:langString Bit Test

rdf:langString The BT x86 assembly language instruction stands for Bit Test and was added to the x86 instruction set with the 80386 processor. BT copies a bit from a given register to the carry flag. Example: copy the third least significant bit from EAX to the carry flag BT EAX, 2 BTS (Bit Test and Set) operates the same, but also sets the bit in the register, while BTR (Bit Test and Reset) resets it, and BTC (Bit Test and Complement) flips it. Logical Explanation BT BT SRC, POSITION SRC Represent as bits array POSITION Represent as numeric position From Right to Left Start at 0 CF Carry Flag Result CF = SRC[POSITION] Logical Explanation BTC BTC SRC, POSITION SRC Represent as bits array for CF Result Represent as hex for SRC Result POSITION Represent as numeric position From Right to Left Start at 0 CF Carry Flag Result CF = SRC[POSITION] XOR SRC, POW(2,POSITION)
