| SYNOPSIS |
| string set_bit(string str, int n) |
| |
| DESCRIPTION |
| Return the new string where bit n is set in string str. Note |
| that the old string str is not modified. |
| |
| Each character contains 6 bits. So you can store a value |
| between 0 and 63 in one character (2^6=64). Starting character |
| is the blank " " which has the value 0. The first charcter in |
| the string is the one with the lowest bits (0-5). |
| |
| The new string will automatically be extended if needed. |
| |
| EXAMPLES |
| string s; |
| s=set_bit("?",5); |
| |
| Because "?" has a value of 31 the variable s will now contain |
| the character "_" which is equal to 63 (31+2^5=63). |
| |
| string s; |
| s=set_bit("78",3); |
| s=set_bit(s,8); |
| |
| s will now contain the string "?<". |
