\/(+Number1, +Number2, ?Result)
Evaluates the bitwise disjunction Number1 \/ Number2 and unifies the
resulting value with Result.
- +Number1
- Integer.
- +Number2
- Integer.
- ?Result
- A variable or integer.
Description
This predicate is used by the ECLiPSe compiler to expand evaluable
arithmetic expressions. So the call to \/(Number1, Number2, Result) is
equivalent to
Result is Number1 \/ Number2
which should be preferred for portability.
In coroutining mode, if Number1 or Number2 are free variables, the call
to \//3 is delayed until these variables are instantiated.
Fail Conditions
Fails if the result of the evaluation does not unify with Result.
Resatisfiable
No
Exceptions
- (4) instantiation fault
- Number1 or Number2 is not instantiated (non-coroutining mode only).
- (5) type error
- Result is a number but not an integer.
- (5) type error
- Number1 or Number2 is a number but not an integer.
- (24) number expected
- Number1 or Number2 is not of a numeric type.
- (24) number expected
- Result is neither a number nor a variable.
Examples
Success:
\/(11, 7, 15).
\/(11, -7, Result). (gives Result = -5)
Fail:
\/(1, 2, 4).
Error:
\/(A, 2, 6). (Error 4).
\/(6, 2.0, 6.0). (Error 5).
\/(4 + 2, 2, 6). (Error 24).
\/(5, 2, r). (Error 24).
