Description
Examples
Join(digits)
Join(digits, sbits)
digits
-
a list of base 2^sbits positive digits
sbits
positive integer number of bits to join on
The Join command joins the input list of integers, least significant first, into a number base 2^sbits (sbits defaults to 1), using only the first sbits bits of each digit.
The most common usage of this command would be for conversion of a list of bits to a number.
The reverse operation, converting the number to digits, is accomplished using the Split command.
