    Question C bitwise macro to Java

    I'm hoping there are a few Java programmers here who are familiar with the C Programming language.

    I need to convert this C macro to java.

    #define set_bit(array,bit) ((array [(bit) / 32] |= (1L << ((bit) % 32 )))

    I believe the array is an unsigned long and the bit is an int. My best guess is that the macro is setting an entry of the unsigned long (array) to a value calculated by left shifting the value of the remainder of bit mod (%) 32. However, I'm not sure how to convert this to Java.

    Thanks for any help or if you can point me in the right direction.

    Re: C bitwise macro to Java

    Without knowing anything about java I would replace it with a function like
    Code:
    void set_bit(int array[], int bit)
    {
        array[bit / 32] |= 1L << (bit % 32 );
    }
    Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
    Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by
    definition, not smart enough to debug it.
