bits Package in Golang

Last Updated : 08 Jun, 2020

Go language provides inbuilt support for bit counting and manipulation functions for the predeclared unsigned integer types with the help of the bits package.

RotateLeft64	This function returns the value of y rotated left by (j mod 64) bits.
RotateLeft8	This function returns the value of y rotated left by (j mod 8) bits.
Sub	This function returns the difference of a, b and borrow: diff = a - b - borrow.
Sub32	This function returns the difference of a, b and borrow: diff = a - b - borrow.
Sub64	This function returns the difference of a, b and borrow: diff = a - b - borrow.
TrailingZeros	This function returns the number of trailing zero bits in y. The result is UintSize for y == 0.

Example 1:

CSharp

// Golang program to illustrate bits.Sub() Function package main  import (     "fmt"     "math/bits" )  // Main function func main() {      // Finding diff and borrowOu     // of the specified numbers     // Using Sub() function     nvalue_1, borrowOut := bits.Sub(4, 3, 0)     fmt.Println("Diff:", nvalue_1)     fmt.Println("BorrowOut :", borrowOut) }

Output:

Diff: 1  BorrowOut : 0

Example 2:

CSharp

// Golang program to illustrate bits.TrailingZeros64() Function package main  import (     "fmt"     "math/bits" )  // Main function func main() {      // Using TrailingZeros64() function     a := bits.TrailingZeros64(15)     fmt.Printf("Total number of trailing"+             " zero bits in %d: %d", 15, a) }

Output:

Total number of trailing zero bits in 15: 0
