NAME

CracTools::BitVector - Full Perl BitVector implementation

VERSION

version 1.251

SYNOPSIS

  my $bv = CracTools::BitVector->new(1000);

  # Setting bits
  my $bv->set(1);
  my $bv->set(12);

  # Query bits
  if($bv->get(12)) {
    print STDERR "I knew this one was set!!\n";
  }

DESCRIPTION

This module based implements a bitvector datastructure where individual bits can be set, unset and check. It also implement "rank", "select" functions, but it is poorly optimised.

SEE ALSO

You may want to check CracTools::GenomeMask that uses this BitVector implementation to define a complete bitset over a genome.

METHODS

new

  Arg [1] : Integer - lenght of the bitvector

  Description : Return a new CracTools::BitVector object
  ReturnType  : CracTools::BitVector

firstBitSet

  Description : Return the position of the first bit set
  ReturnType  : Integer

copy

  Description : Return a copy of the curent bitvector
  ReturnType  : CracTools::BitVector

set

  Arg [1] : Integer - position in the bitvector

  Description : Set 1-bit at position i
  ReturnType  : undef

unset

  Arg [1] : Integer - position in the bitvector

  Description : Unset 1-bit at position i
  ReturnType  : undef

get

  Arg [1] : Integer - position in the bitvector

  Description : Return the value of the bit at position i
  ReturnType  : Boolean

prev

  Arg [1] : Integer - position in the bitvector
  Arg [2] : (Optional) Integer - max shift from i

  Description : Return the previous position that has a bit set.
                ie. a position j <= i such that get(j) == 1
                && get(k) == 0 , j < k <= i
                If max is set, j >= i - max
                -1 if no such position exists
  ReturnType  : Integer

succ

  Arg [1] : Integer - position in the bitvector
  Arg [2] : (Optional) Integer - max shift from i

  Description : Return the next position that has a bit set.
                ie. a position j >= i such that get(j) == 1
                && get(k) == 0 , j > k >= i
                If max is set, j <= i + max
                -1 if no such position exists
  ReturnType  : Integer

rank

  Arg [1] : Integer - position in the bitvector

  Description : Return the number of bit set up to
                position i
  ReturnType  : Integer

select

  Arg [1] : Integer - position in the bitvector

  Description : Return the next position that has a bit set.
                ie. a position j >= i such that get(j) == 1
                && get(k) == 0 , j > k >= i
                If max is set, j <= i + max
                -1 if no such position exists
  ReturnType  : Integer

length

  Description : Return the length of the bitvector
  ReturnType  : Integer

nbSet

  Description : Return the number of bit set
  ReturnType  : Integer

alias: nb_set

toString

  Arg [1] : (Optional) String - Separator character (space by default)
  
  Description : Return a string representation of the bitvector
                where each bit is separated with a space character.
  ReturnType  : String

alias: to_string
