NextNBits()
NextNBits (<bit_count integer>)
Return value
None.
Comments
Reads bit_count bits from the data source specified in the last call to
GetNBits
, starting after the last bit that the previous call to GetNBits
or NextNbits returned. If called without a previous call to GetNBits,
the result is undefined. Note that bits are indexed starting at bit 0.
Example
raw = 'F0F0'; # 1111000011110000 binary
result1 = GetNBits ( raw, 2, 4 );
result2 = NextNBits(5);
result3 = NextNBits(2);
Trace ( "result1 = ", result1 " result2 = ", result2 "
result3 = ", result3 );
This will generate this trace output:
result1 = C result2 = 7 result3 = 2
In the call to GetNBits: starting at bit 2, reads 4 bits (1100), and returns
the value 0xC.
In the first call to NextNBits: starting at bit 6, reads 5 bits (00111), and
returns the value 0x7.
In the second call to NextNBits: starting at bit 11 (=6+5), reads 2 bits
(10), and returns the value 0x2.
Resolve()
Resolve( <symbol_name string> )
Return value
The value of the symbol. Returns null if the symbol is not found.
