Pulling single-bit values from an integer...

So I've got the following script:

        i = 65;
        for(x = 0; x < 32; x++)
        {
            llOwnerSay((string)i);
            llOwnerSay((string)((i << x) & 0x01));
        }

...according to my understanding, it SHOULD report:

65
1
65
0
65
0
65
0
65
0
65
0
65
1
.....(all the rest being 65 and 0)

...HOWEVER, in practice it is reporting

65
1
65
0
....(all the rest being 65 and 0)

...am I doing something wrong that does not allow my to catch the ticked digit at 64? For the record, this function will later be part of a larger script that needs to check each bit of a 32-bit integer for tick/non-tick.

In the script you posted you are bitshifting your testobject in the wrong direction

Try to replace the line
llOwnerSay((string)((i << x) & 0x01));

with the following:
llOwnerSay((string)((i >> x) & 0x01));

Your test tests for the lowest bit, so you want a rightshift to first test bit 0, then bit1, then bit 2....

the script you posted used a leftshift and thus tested bit 0, then bit0 after a leftshift(which in LSL will always be 0 as the sign bit gets lost), then bit 0 after 2 leftshifts ....

Haha...thank you...dumb mistake on my part! I appreciate the help.
