bitClear()
Description
Clears (writes a 0 to) a bit of a numeric variable.
Syntax
bitClear(x, n)
Parameter Values
- x: the numeric variable whose bit to clear.
- n: which bit to clear, starting at 0 for the least-significant (rightmost) bit.
Return Values
- x: the value of the numeric variable after the bit at position n is cleared.
Example Code
Demonstrates the use of bitClear() by printing the value of a variable to the Serial Monitor before and after the use of bitClear().
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
byte x = 0b10000100; // the 0b prefix indicates a binary constant
Serial.print("BEFORE: ");
Serial.println(x, BIN); // 10000100
bitClear(x, 2); // clear the third bit
Serial.print("AFTER: ");
Serial.println(x, BIN); // 10000000
}
void loop() {}
The result in Serial Monitor:
COM6
BEFORE: 10000100
AFTER: 10000000

Clear output
