This class represents sequences of bits, and does conversions and comparisons. Provided as is for CS420.

bitSeq

public bitSeq(byte seq);

Parameters:: seq -the byte representation of up to 8 bits, to be converted to a bit sequence

bitSeq

public bitSeq(int seq);

Parameters:: seq -the int representation of up to 32 bits, to be converted to a bit sequence

bitSeq

public bitSeq(long seq);

Parameters:: seq -the long representation of up to 128 bits, to be converted to a bit sequence

bitSeq

public bitSeq(String seq);

Parameters:: seq -the String representation of bits, to be converted to a bit sequence

assign

public void assign(byte seq)

Parameters:: seq -the byte representation of up to 8 bits, to be assigned to the bit sequence

assign

public void assign(int seq)

Parameters:: seq -the int representation of up to 32 bits, to be assigned to the bit sequence

assign

public void assign(long seq)

Parameters:: seq -the long representation of up to 128 bits, to be assigned to the bit sequence

assign

public void assign(String seq)

Parameters:: seq -the string representation of bits, to be assigned to the bit sequence

getCurrent

public int getCurrent()

Returns:: The integer position of the current bit in the sequence (0..).

nextBit

public bit nextBit()

Returns:: The bit at the current position in the sequence, and advances the postion.

toString

public String toString()

Returns:: The string representation of the sequence.

wasLastBit

public boolean wasLastBit()

Returns:: True if the pointer to the current bit is past the end of the sequence.
