'AND' you lost me!  

i have no idea what you guys are talking about

[t-bear]

Se7en...

If you check back on .... oh, I'd say page 2 of this diatribe.....that's where I got lost!   (maybe it was Pg. 1....)

Well, the best guess I have at it is that the AND has no matches so it resets to 0 or false and the OR I got T, but I'm sure there's some bitwise il-logic to 127.

WHY ? me, bear and se7en ask. OH!! this is one of them programming exercises that we use to do in college that accomplishes nothing but justifies the tuition!! OH LORD!! Now Mark will want to charge tuition!!

Sure, (apply 'and (vl-string->list "This is what you get")) returns T - as it should. But (apply 'logand (vl-string->list "This is what you get")) should not return anything but zero.

It's close to get all one's on the fifth bit, though:
(apply 'logand (vl-string->list "his is what you get")) = 32 (= 2^5)

T-bear, you following?

[t-bear]

Suuuuurrrrrrre I am....from waaaaay back there.   Can't you see my pin little head glistening in the setting sun?  Or is that just my brain melting in the warm glow of you guys's massive input over-load?  Bet it's the second one......
Actually, Stig, I haven't a clue....and don't try to help me on this. The others here know me better than to waste their time teaching the brain-dead .  A man's gotta know his limits...and I do!   Oh but I do!!!

Here's the answer to Dents binary assumption ÖŠÁÔI

Stig, is that your language?

[SMadsen]

Nah, sounds like Turkish.

[daron]

I was thinking it sounded Japanese, but looking Danish, Icelandic, Swedish, Norweigian. You know, with all the symbols above the characters.

there's probably some insulted and generally pissed off individual somewhere plotting my demise at this very moment 'cause he can read it now. THANKS YA'LL!! put a big ole bulls eye on my big ole butt!!

[daron]

Yeah, sure. Hey, it might be Vietnamese. Maybe I'll ask a co-worker of mine who's Vietnamese if he can read it?
