bitLength

• global property

• new in 2.06

• The bitLength global property controls the number of bits used by the bitwise operators. The bitLength is 64 by default, which treats numbers as 64-bit signed integers for purposes of bit operations. Setting the bitLength to anything less than 64 will treat the results of any bit operations as unsigned integers.

• Example:

  set the bitLength to 32
