PHP | gmp_clrbit() Function
The gmp_clrbit() function is an in-built function in PHP which clears a bit of a GMP number (GNU Multiple Precision). The gmp_clrbit() function sets the bit at a specified index in a GMP number to 0. The index starts at zero from the least significant bit.
Syntax :
gmp_clrbit( $num, $index )
Parameters: The function accepts two mandatory parameters $num and $index as shown in the above syntax. These parameters are :-
- $num : It can be either a GMP number resource in PHP 5.5 or a GMP object in PHP version 5.6 and later, or numeric strings can be passed to the function provided that it is possible to convert those strings to numbers.
- $index : The index of the bit to be cleared.The indexing starts from 0 where index 0 represents the least significant bit..
Return Values : This function returns a GMP number (in PHP 5.5 and earlier) or a GMP object (in PHP 5.6 and later) which is the number formed after the bit at the specified index is set to 0.
Examples :
Input : $num = 255, $index = 0 Output : 254 Input : $num = 128, $index = 7 Output : 0
Below programs illustrate the gmp_clrbit() function :
Program 1:
<?php// PHP program to illustrate// gmp_clrbit() function$num = gmp_init(255); gmp_clrbit($num, 0); // index starts at 0, least significant bit echo gmp_strval($num);?> |
Output:
254
Program 2:
<?php// PHP program to illustrate// gmp_clrbit() function$num = gmp_init("314567128"); gmp_clrbit($num, 8); // index starts at 0, least significant bit echo gmp_strval($num);?> |
Output:
314566872
