using bit flags in scripts
  
 
Posted: Apr 10, 2019

I am looking for an example of how to use the 64/32-bit flags that are returned from functions like:
^partofspeech()
^properties()
^flags()
^role()

I am sure this must be simple to do but I cannot find an example and I have tried things like:

$isNoun = ^properties( dog) & NOUN

$isNoun = ^properties( dog ) AND NOUN

$isNoun = ^properties( dog)
$isNoun &= NOUN

yes, I know that there exists ^hasanyproperty() and ^hasallproperty() but those will not give you information from the parsed sentence only the dict.

not looking deeply at this question at present, just noting that ALL constants taken from CS must be prefixed with #  so that’s #NOUN which compiler converts to the numeric value found in dictionarysystem.h

Brilliant!

the following works in interactive mode

:do if( ^properties( dog ) & #NOUN ) {is true} else { is false}
# is true

 :do if( ^properties( dog ) & #COMMA ) {is true} else { is false}
# is false 

Thanks Bruce!
