Hi:If I use an integer to represent bits: e.g. 99 represents '1100011' How can I locate, say the second bit of 99(i.e. '1')? Although bin(99)[4] could be used to locate it, this transform cost too much memory (99 only needs 2Bytes, while string '1100011' needs 7Bytes). Anyone knows how to locate the second bit without using bin() function?
You mean
def get_bit(number, bit):
return (number >> bit) & 1
?
