Hallo, I was trying to change case of character, but or'ing value doesn't work, as i have no clue why, i would be grateful for explaining me where the problem is....thanks in advance.
Program Charcon;
#include( "stdlib.hhf" );
begin Charcon;
stdout.put("enter char string ");
stdin.flushInput();
repeat
stdin.getc();
if( al >= 'a' ) then
if( al <= 'z' ) then
or( $60, al ); //let's say i want to change value in al from $41 ( %0100_0001) to $61 (%0110_0001) i tried oring with $20, $60, $61
//but it doesn't really matter because all these values should work.
endif;
endif;
stdout.putc( al );
stdout.put( "=$" ,al,nl );
until(stdin.eoln() );
end Charcon;
I think this is what you want:
program Charcon;
#include( "stdlib.hhf" );
begin Charcon;
stdout.put("enter char string ");
stdin.flushInput();
repeat
stdin.getc();
if( al >= 'A' ) then
if( al <= 'Z' ) then
add( #32, al );
endif;
endif;
stdout.putc( al );
stdout.put( "=$" ,al,nl );
until(stdin.eoln() );
end Charcon;

this is supposed to be done with logical operations, and why it does not work? if you and it with 5f it changes all values to higher case, by the way adding value you suggest doesn't change chars to lower case as well, and outputs some weird chars when input is lower case char, when it should let them through.
EDIT: problem fixed
Use the truth tables as a guide to how the logical operators function.
The AND operator only outputs a 1 if both inputs are also 1.
# | 0 1
----------
0 | 0 0
1 | 0 1
The OR operator outputs a 1 if either of the inputs are 1.
# | 0 1
----------
0 | 0 1
1 | 1 1
The XOR operator only outputs a 1 if the inputs are different.
# | 0 1
----------
0 | 0 1
1 | 1 0
For *setting* or *clearing* bits, the most useful operation is the AND operator. To demonstrate, we will restrict the number a bits to four.
Binary, Hex, Decimal
--------------------
0000 0 0
0001 1 1
0010 2 2
0011 3 3
0100 4 4
0101 5 5
0110 6 6
0111 7 7
1000 8 8
1001 9 9
1010 A 10
1011 B 11
1100 C 12
1101 D 13
1110 E 14
1111 F 15
If we want to 'set' the fourth bit, we AND the value with 8 (1000). Here we will AND 8 (1000) with 3 (0011) and 6 (0110).
0011 = 3
1000 = 8
----------
1011 = B
0110 = 6
1000 = 8
----------
1110 = E
If we want to 'clear' the fourth bit, we AND the value with 7 (0111). Here we will AND 7 (0111) with B (1011) and E (1110).
1011 = B
0111 = 7
----------
0011 = 3
1110 = E
0111 = 7
----------
0110 = 6

Shouldn't we OR with 8 to get these results...? :red

And now I know that people are actually paying attention to what I write... :)
