Basic Operations

Integer operations: plus (+), minus (-), and bitwise NOT (~)

Only integer types with a bit width of 32 or less are supported.

int<32> a = 32w1;
int<32> b;
b = +a;  // Plus
b = -a;  // Minus
b = ~a; // Bitwise NOT

Arithmetic operations: addition (+), subtraction (-), multiplication (*), division (/), and modulo (%)

Only integer types with a bit width of 32 or less are supported.

bit<32> a = 32w1;
bit<32> b = 32w2;
bit<32> c;
c = a + b;  // Addition
c = a - b;  // Subtraction
c = a * b;  // Multiplication
c = a / b;  // Division
c = a % b   // Modulo

Shift operations: left shift (<<) and right shift (>>)

Only integer types with a bit width of 32 or less are supported.

bit<32> a = 32w1;
bit<32> b = 32w2;
bit<32> c;
c = a << 2w2;  // Left shift
c = a >> 2w2;  // Right shift

Bitwise operations: bitwise AND (&), bitwise OR (|), and bitwise XOR (^)

Only integer types with a bit width of 32 or less are supported.

bit<32> a = 32w1;
bit<32> b = 32w2;
bit<32> c;
c = a & b;  // Bitwise AND
c = a | b;  // Bitwise OR
c = a ^ b;  // Bitwise XOR

Comparison operations: less than (<), less than or equal to (<=), greater than (>), greater than or equal to (>=), equal to (==), and not equal to (!=)

Only integer types with a bit width of 32 or less are supported. The return value is of the Boolean type.

bit<32> a = 32w1;
bit<32> b = 32w2;
bool d;
d = a < b;   // Less than
d = a <= b;  // Less than or equal to
d = a > b;   // Greater than
d = a >= b;  // Greater than or equal to
d = a == b;  // Equal to
d = a != b;  // Not equal to

Logical operations: AND (&&), OR (||), and NOT (!)

The variables involved in logical operations must be Boolean values.

bool d;
d = true && false;  // AND
d = true || false;  // OR
d = !true;          // NOT
