Add binary/bool op about ark HOT 7 CLOSED

That's also a possibility, maybe we should vote?

If you don't think that rshift, lshift, binary or/and/not are needed, meaning that only not (for booleans) is needed, vote with 👍

If you think rshift, lshift, binary or/and/not are needed, and thus a rough conversion double -> long is needed, vote with 👎

I like the idea, however the standard library (in ArkScript) won't be very efficient for this, thus I would suggest to go with a standard module (in C++, with a UserType), generated from a string as you said

Let's close this if everyone agrees, and move onto an RFC for this module + an future module implementation?

Edit: after reading again your comment, you were in fact suggesting modules, mea culpa

Implemented in ArkScript-lang/modules#39

Any numeric value is stored finally as a double. The listed binary operations, however, work on integer types (int, long, etc.) and not the double type.

One possible solution is to have Value modified to store one of the integer types (int, long, etc.). @SuperFola any thoughts?

You're right, thanks for pointing it out. I'm now wondering if can afford to have a double number type (long vs double), and if we do, is that really useful?

At least we can implement not for booleans.

Or the crudest way is to round the number and apply the operator on it.

We could make bitstrings in the std library
Instead dealing with converting to integers, we could

• make a way to create bitstring like (make-bitstring "bitstring")
• make Ark method wrappers for bit manipulation
• and let c++ handle with std::bitset or our own implementation
