(Non-clip_functions work in progress)

Boolean functions

They return true or false, if the condition that they test holds or not, respectively.

IsBool(var)

Tests if var is of the bool type. var can be any expression allowed by the AviSynth Syntax.

Examples:

b = false
IsBool(b) = true
IsBool(1 < 2 && 0 == 1) = true
IsBool(123) = false

IsClip(var)

Tests if var is of the clip type. var can be any expression allowed by the AviSynth Syntax.

Examples:

c = AviSource(...)
IsClip(c) = true
IsClip("c") = false

IsFloat(var)

Tests if var is of the float type. var can be any expression allowed by the AviSynth Syntax.

Examples:

f = Sqrt(2)
IsFloat(f) = true
IsFloat(2) = true   # ints are considered to be floats by this function
IsFloat(true) = false

IsInt(var)

Tests if var is of the int type. var can be any expression allowed by the AviSynth Syntax.

Examples:

IsInt(2) = true
IsInt(2.1) = false
IsInt(true) = false

IsString(var)

Tests if var is of the string type. var can be any expression allowed by the AviSynth Syntax.

Examples:

IsString("test") = true
IsString(2.3) = false
IsString(String(2.3)) = true

Exist(filename)

Tests if the file specified by filename exists.

Examples:

filename = ...
clp = Exist(filename) ? AviSource(filename) : Assert(false, "file: " + filename + " does not exist")

Defined(var)

Tests if var is defined. Can be used inside Script_functions to test if an optional argument has been given an explicit value.

More formally, the function returns false if its argument (normally a function argument or variable) has the void ('undefined') type, otherwise it returns true.

Examples:

b_arg_supplied = Defined(arg)
myvar = b_arg_supplied ? ... : ...

Control functions

These facilitate flow of control (loading of scripts, arguments checks, global settings adjustment, etc.).

Apply(string func_string , arg1, arg2, ...)

Calls the function or filter func_string with arguments arg1, arg2, ..., argn (as many as supplied). Thus, it provides a way to call a function or filter by name providing arguments in the usual way as in a typical function call.

Consequently, Apply("f", x) is equivalent to f(x) which in turn is equivalent to Eval("f(" + String(x) + ")").

Examples:

# here the same call to BicubicResize as in the Eval() example is shown 
Apply("BicubicResize", last, 352, 288)
# Note that the clip argument must be supplied - 'last' is not implicitly assumed

Eval(expression, string name)

Eval evaluates an arbitrary expression as if it was placed inside the script at the point of the call to Eval and returns the result of evaluation (either to the variable that is explicitly assigned to or to the last special variable.

You can use Eval to construct and evaluate expressions dynamically inside your scripts, based on variable input data. Below some specific examples are shown but you get the general idea.

Argument name will be shown in the error message besides the script name. Both will be followed with the line number in the script where the is error caused.

Examples:

# this calls BicubicResize(last, 352, 288)
settings = "352, 288"
Eval( "BicubicResize(" + settings + ")" )
...
# this will result in Defined(u) == false
u = Eval("#")   
...
# this increments a global based on a variable's value
dummy = Eval("global my_counter = my_counter + " + String(increment)) 

Import(filename)

Import evaluates the contents of another AviSynth script and returns the imported script's return value. Typically it is used to make available to the calling script library functions and the return value is not used. However this is simply a convention; it is not enforced by the AviSynth Syntax. See also the dedicated Import page in Internal filters for other possible uses.

Possible scenarios (an indicative list) where the return value could be of use is for the library script to:

• indicate whether it succesfully initialised itself (a bool return value),
• inform for the number of presets found on disk (an int return value);

the value then could be tested by the calling script to decide what action to take next.

Examples:

Import("mylib.avsi")  # here we do not care about the value (mylib.avsi contains only functions)
...
okflag = Import("mysources.avsi")  # mysources loads predetermined filenames from a folder into globals
source = okflag ? global1 + global2 + global3 : BlankClip()

Select(index, item0, item1, item2,...)

Returns the item selected by the index argument, which must be of int type (0 returns item0, 1 returns item1, ..., etc). Items can be any script variable or expression of any type and can even be mixed.

Examples:

# select a clip-brush from a set of presets
idx = 2
brush = Select(idx, AviSource("round.avi"), rectangle, diagonal, diagonal.FlipHorizontal)

Default(x, d)

Returns x if Defined(x) is true, d otherwise. x must either be a function's argument or an already declared script variable (ie a variable which has been assigned a value) else an error will occur.

Examples:

function myfunc(clip c, ..., int "strength") {
    ...
    strength = Default(strength, 4) # if not supplied make it 4
    ...
}

Assert(condition , err_msg)

Does nothing if condition is true; throws an error, immediately terminating script execution, if condition is false. In the later case err_msg, if supplied, is presented to the user through a dialog box; else the standard message "Assert: assertion failed". shows up.

Examples:

function myfunc(clip c, ..., int "strength") {
    ...
    strength = Default(strength, 4) # if not supplied make it 4
    Assert(strength > 0, "'strength' must be positive")
    ...
}

NOP( )

This is a no-operation function provided mainly for conditional execution with non-return value items such as Import, when no "else" condition is desired. That is, use it whenever the AviSynth Syntax requires an operation (such as with the ?: operator) but your script does not need one.

Return value: 0 (int type).

Examples:

preset = want_presets ? AviSource("c:\presets\any.avi") : NOP
... 
loadlib ? Import("my_useful_functions.avs") : NOP

UnDefined( )

@since v2.60

Returns the undefined state.

It's the state for which Defined() returns false.

Examples:

x = Undefined()
Defined(x) # = true

Global Options

SetMemoryMax(amount)

@since v2

Sets the maximum memory that AviSynth uses (in MB) to the value of amount. Setting to zero just returns the current Memory Max value. v2, (=0) v2.58. In the 2.5 series the default Memory Max value is 25% of the free physical memory, with a minimum of 16MB.

From v2.58, the default Memory Max is also limited to 512MB.

Free memory	<64	128	256	512	1024	2048	3072
Max v2.57 and older	16	32	64	128	256	512	768
Default Max since v2.58	16	32	64	192	448	512	512

In some versions there is a default setting of 5MB, which is quite low. If you encounter problems (e.g. low speed) try to set this values to at least 32MB. Too high values can result in crashes because of 2GB address space limit.

Return value: Actual MemoryMax value set.

Examples:

SetMemoryMax(128)

SetWorkingDir(path)

@since v2

Sets the default directory for AviSynth to the path argument.

This is primarily for easy loading of source clips, importing scripts, etc. It does not affect plugins' autoloading.

Return value is 0 if successful, -1 otherwise.

Examples:

SetWorkingDir("c:\my_presets")
AviSource("border_mask.avi")  # this loads c:\my_presets\border_mask.avi

SetPlanarLegacyAlignment(mode)

@since v2.56

Set alignment mode for planar frames. mode can either be true or false.

Some older plugins illegally assume the layout of video frames in memory. This special filter forces the memory layout of planar frames to be compatible with prior versions of AviSynth. The filter works on the GetFrame() call stack, so it effects filters before it in the script.

Examples:

Example : Using an older version of Mpeg2Source() (1.10 or older):

LoadPlugin("...\Mpeg2Decode.dll")
Mpeg2Source("test.d2v")         # A plugin that illegally assumes the layout of memory
SetPlanarLegacyAlignment(true)  # Set legacy memory alignment for prior statements
ConvertToYUY2()     # Statements through to the end of the script have
...                             # advanced memory alignment.

global OPT_AllowFloatAudio = True

@since v2.57

This option enables WAVE_FORMAT_IEEE_FLOAT audio output. The default is to autoconvert Float audio to 16 bit.

global OPT_UseWaveExtensible = True

@since v2.58

This option enables WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE audio output. The default is WAVE_FORMAT_EX.

Note: The default DirectShow component for .AVS files, "AVI/WAV File Source", does not correctly implement WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE processing, so many application may not be able to detect the audio track. There are third party DirectShow readers that do work correctly. Intermediate work files written using the AVIFile interface for later DirectShow processing will work correctly if they use the DirectShow "File Source (async)" component or equivalent.

global OPT_VDubPlanarHack = True

@since v2.60

This option enables flipped YV24 and YV16 chroma planes. This is an hack for early versions of Virtualdub with YV24/YV16 support.

global OPT_dwChannelMask(int v)

@since v2.60

This option enables you to set ChannelMask. It overrides WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE.dwChannelMask which is set according to this table

0x00004, // 1   -- -- Cf
0x00003, // 2   Lf Rf
0x00007, // 3   Lf Rf Cf
0x00033, // 4   Lf Rf -- -- Lr Rr
0x00037, // 5   Lf Rf Cf -- Lr Rr
0x0003F, // 5.1 Lf Rf Cf Sw Lr Rr
0x0013F, // 6.1 Lf Rf Cf Sw Lr Rr -- -- Cr
0x0063F, // 7.1 Lf Rf Cf Sw Lr Rr -- -- -- Ls Rs 

global OPT_AVIPadScanlines = True

@since v2.60

This option enables DWORD aligned planar padding. Default is packed aligned planar padding. See memory alignment used in the AVIFile output emulation.

Conversion functions

These convert between different types.

Value(string)

@since v2.07

Converts a decimal string to its associated numeric value.

Examples:

Value ("-2.7") = -2.7

HexValue(string)

@since v2.07

Converts a hexadecimal string to its associated numeric value.

Examples:

HexValue ("FF00") = 65280

Hex(int)

@since v2.60

Converts a numerical value to its hexadecimal value. See Colors for more information on specifying colors.

Examples:

Hex (10824234) = "A52A2A"

String(var , format_string)

@since v2.07

Converts a variable to a string. String arguments are passed along unchanged; booleans are converted to "true" or "false"; numbers (ints or floats) are formatted as described below; all other value types are converted to the empty string.

If the variable is float or integer, it first converts it to a float and then uses format_string to convert the float to a string. The syntax of format_string is as follows:

%[flags][width][.precision]f

flags

- left align (instead right align)

+ always print the +/- sign

0 padding with leading zeros

' ' print a blank instead of a "+"

# always print the decimal point

width

the minimum width (the string is never truncated)

precision

the number of digits printed

You can also put arbitrary text around the format_string as defined above, similar to the C-language sprintf function.

Examples:

Subtitle( "Clip height is " + String(last.height) )
Subtitle( String(x, "Value of x is %.3f after AR calc") )
Subtitle( "Value of x is " + String(x, "%.3f") + " after AR calc") ) # same as above

Subtitle( String(1.23, "%f" ))              # '1.23'
Subtitle( String(1.23, "%5.1f") )           # '  1.2'
Subtitle( String(1.23, "%1.3f") )           # '1.230'
Subtitle( String(24, "%05.0f") )            # '00024'

Subtitle( "PI=" + String(PI, "%0.0f") )     # "PI=3"
Subtitle( "PI=" + String(PI, "%2.0f") )     # "PI= 3"
Subtitle( "PI=" + String(PI, "%3.2f") )     # "PI=3.14"
Subtitle( "PI=" + String(PI, "%0.5f") )     # "PI=3.14159"
Subtitle( "PI=" + String(PI, "%6.3f") )     # "PI= 3.142"

Subtitle( "'" + String(32, "%0f") + "'" )   # '32.000000'
Subtitle( "'" + String(32, "%0.0f") + "'" ) # '32'
Subtitle( "'" + String(32, "%3.0f") + "'" ) # ' 32'
Subtitle( "'" + String(32, "%8.0f") + "'" ) # '      32'

Numeric functions

They provide common mathematical operations on numeric variables.

Max(float, float [, ...])

@since v2.58

Returns the maximum value of a set of numbers.

If all the values are of type Int, the result is an Int. If any of the values are of type Float, the result is a Float.

This may cause an unexpected result when an Int value greater than 16777216 is mixed with Float values.

Examples:

Max (1, 2) = 2
Max (5, 3.0, 2) = 5.0

Min(float, float [, ...])

@since v2.58

Returns the minimum value of a set of numbers.

Examples:

Min (1, 2) = 1
Min (5, 3.0, 2) = 2.0

MulDiv(int, int, int)

@since v2.56

Multiplies two ints (m, n) and divides the product by a third (d) in a single operation, with 64 bit intermediate result. The actual equation used is (m * n + d / 2) / d .

Examples:

MulDiv (1, 1, 2) = 1
MulDiv (2, 3, 2) = 3

Floor(float)

Converts from single-precision, floating-point value to int (round down on any fractional amount).

Examples:

Floor(1.2) = 1
Floor(1.6) = 1
Floor(-1.2) = -2
Floor(-1.6) = -2

Ceil(float)

Converts from single-precision, floating-point value to int (round up on any fractional amount).

Examples:

Ceil(1.2) = 2
Ceil(1.6) = 2
Ceil(-1.2) = -1
Ceil(-1.6) = -1

Round(float)

Converts from single-precision, floating-point value to int (round off to nearest integer).

Examples:

Round(1.2) = 1
Round(1.6) = 2
Round(-1.2) = -1
Round(-1.6) = -2

Int(float)

@since v2.07

Converts from single-precision, floating-point value to int (round towards zero).

Examples:

Int(1.2) = 1
Int(1.6) = 1
Int(-1.2) = -1
Int(-1.6) = -1

Float(int)

@since v2.07

Converts int to single-precision, floating-point value. Integer values that require more than 24-bits to be represented will have their lower 8-bits truncated yielding unexpected values.

Examples:

Float(4) = 4.0
Float(4) / 3 = 1.333 (while 4 / 3 = 1 , due to integer division)

Sin(float)

@since v2

Returns the sine of the argument (assumes it is radians).

Examples:

Sin(Pi()/4) = 0.707
Sin(Pi()/2) = 1.0

Cos(float)

@since v2

Returns the cosine of the argument (assumes it is radians).

Examples:

Cos(Pi()/4) = 0.707
Cos(Pi()/2) = 0.0

Tan(float)

@since v2.60

Returns the tangent of the argument (assumes it is radians).

Examples:

Tan(Pi()/4) = 1.0
Tan(Pi()/2) = not defined

32 bit ieee floats do not have sufficient resolution to exactly represent

pi/2 so AviSynth returns a large positive number for the value slightly less

than pi/2 and a large negative value for the next possible value which is

slightly greater than pi/2.

Asin(float)

@since v2.60

Returns the inverse of the sine of the argument (output is radians).

Examples:

Asin(0.707) = 0.7852471634 (~ Pi/4)
Asin(1.0) = 1.570796327 (~ Pi/2)

Acos(float)

@since v2.60

Returns the inverse of the cosine of the argument (output is in radians).

Examples:

Acos(0.707) = 0.7852471634 (~ Pi/4)
Acos(0.0) = 1.570796327 (~ Pi/2)

Atan(float)

@since v2.60

Returns the inverse of the tangent of the argument (output is in radians).

Examples:

Atan(0.707) = 0.6154085176
Atan(1.0) = 0.7853981634 (~ Pi/4)

Atan2(float, float)

@since v2.60

Returns the angle between the positive x-axis of a plane and the point given by the coordinates (x, y) on it (output is in radians). See wikipedia for more information.

y is the first argument and x is the second argument.

Examples:

Atan2(1.0, 0) = 1.570796327 (~ Pi/2)
Atan2(1.0, 1.0) = 0.7852471634 (~ Pi/4)
Atan2(-1.0, -1.0) = -2.356194490 (~ -3Pi/4)

Sinh(float)

@since v2.60

Returns the hyperbolic sine of the argument. See wikipedia for more information.

Examples:

Sinh(2.0) = 3.626860408

Cosh(float)

@since v2.60

Returns the hyperbolic cosine of the argument.

Examples:

Cosh(2.0) = 3.762195691

Tanh(float)

@since v2.60

Returns the hyperbolic tangent of the argument.

Examples:

Tanh(2.0) = 0.9640275801

Fmod(float, float)

@since v2.60

Returns the modulo of the argument. Output is float.

Examples:

Fmod(3.5, 0.5) = 0 (since 3.5 - 7*0.5 = 0)
Fmod(3.5, 1.0) = 0.5 (since 3.5 - 3*1.0 = 0.5)

Pi()

@since v2

Returns the value of the "pi" constant (the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter).

Examples:

d = Pi()    # d == 3.141592653

Exp(float)

@since v2

Exp(1) = 2.7182818
Exp(0) = 1.0

Log(float)

@since v2

Returns the natural (base-e) logarithm of the argument.

Examples:

Log(1) = 0.0
Log(10) = 2.30259
Log(Exp(1)) = 1.0

Log10(float)

@since v2.60

Returns the common logarithm of the argument.

Examples:

Log10(1.0) = 0
Log10(10.0) = 1.0
Log10(2.0) = 0.3010299957

Pow(float base, float power)

@since v2.07

Returns "base" raised to the power indicated by the second argument.

Examples:

Pow(2, 3) = 8
Pow(3, 2) = 9
Pow(3.45, 1.75) = 8.7334

Sqrt(float)

@since v2.07

Returns the square root of the argument.

Examples:

Sqrt(1) = 1.0
Sqrt(2) = 1.4142

Abs(float or int)

@since v2.07

Returns the absolute value of its argument (returns float for float, integer for integer).

Examples:

Abs(-3.8) = 3.8
Abs(-4) = 4

Sign(float)

@since v2.07

Returns the sign of the value passed as argument (1, 0 or -1).

Examples:

Sign(-3.5) = -1
Sign(3.5) = 1
Sign(0) = 0

Frac(float)

@since v2.07

Returns the fractional portion of the value provided.

Examples:

Frac(3.7) = 0.7
Frac(-1.8) = -0.8

Rand([int max] [, bool scale] [, bool seed])

@since v2.07

Returns a random integer value. All parameters are optional.

• max sets the maximum value+1 (default 32768) and can be set negative for negative results. It operates either in scaled or modulus mode (default scale=true only if abs(max) > 32768, false otherwise).
• Scaled mode (scale=true) scales the internal random number generator value to the maximum value, while modulus mode (scale=false) uses the remainder from an integer divide of the random generator value by the maximum. I found modulus mode is best for smaller maximums.
• Using seed=true seeds the random number generator with the current time. seed defaults to false and probably isn't necessary, although it's there just in case.

Typically, this function would be used with the Select function for random clips.

Examples:

Select(Rand(5), clip1, clip2, clip3, clip4, clip5)

Spline(float X, x1, y1, x2, y2, .... [, bool cubic])

@since v2.51

Interpolates the Y value at point X using the control points x1/y1, ... There have to be at least 2 x/y-pairs. The interpolation can be cubic (the result is a spline) or linear (the result is a polygon). Default is cubic.

Examples:

Spline(5, 0, 0, 10, 10, 20, 0, false) = 5
Spline(5, 0, 0, 10, 10, 20, 0, true) = 7

ContinuedNumerator

ContinuedNumerator(float, int limit)

ContinuedNumerator(int, int, int limit)

ContinuedDenominator(float, int limit)

ContinuedDenominator(int, int, int limit)

@since v2.60

The rational pair (ContinuedNumerator, ContinuedDenominator) returned has the smallest possible denominator such that the absolute error is less than 1/limit. More information can be found on wikipedia.

If limit is not specified in the Float case the rational pair returned is to the limit of the single precision floating point value. Thus (float)((double)Num/(double)Den) == V.

In the Int case if limit is not specified then the normalized original values will be returned, i.e. reduced by the GCD.

Examples:

ContinuedNumerator(PI(), limit=5000]) = 355
ContinuedDenominator(PI(), limit=5000) = 113

ContinuedNumerator(PI(), limit=50]) = 22
ContinuedDenominator(PI(), limit=50) = 7

ContinuedNumerator(355, 113, limit=50]) = 22
ContinuedDenominator(355, 113, limit=50) = 7

BitAnd(int, int)

@since v2.60

The functions: BitAnd, BitNot, BitOr and BitXor, etc, are bitwise operators. This means that their arguments (being integers) are converted to binary numbers, the operation is performed on their bits, and the resulting binary number is converted back again.

BitAnd returns the bitwise AND (sets bit to 1 if both bits are 1 and sets bit to 0 otherwise).

Examples:

BitAnd(5, 6) = 4 # since 5 = 101, 6 = 110, and 101&110 = 100

BitNot(int)

@since v2.60

Returns the bit-inversion (sets bit to 1 if bit is 0 and vice-versa).

Examples:

BitNOT(5) = -6 # since 5 = 101, and ~101 = 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1010 = -6

Note: 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1010 = (2^32-1)-2^0-2^2 = 2^32-(1+2^0+2^2) =(signed) -(1+2^0+2^2) = -6

BitOr(int, int)

@since v2.60

Returns the bitwise inclusive OR (sets bit to 1 if one of the bits (or both) is 1 and sets bit to 0 otherwise).

Examples:

BitOr(5, 6) = 7 # since 5 = 101, 6 = 110, and 101|110 = 111
BitOr(4, 2) = 6 # since 4 = 100, 2 = 010, and 100|010 = 110

BitXor(int, int)

@since v2.60

Returns the bitwise exclusive OR (sets bit to 1 if exactly one of the bits is 1 and sets bit to 0 otherwise).

Examples:

BitXor(5, 6) = 3 # since 5 = 101, 6 = 110, and 101^110 = 011
BitXor(4, 2) = 6 # since 4 = 100, 2 = 010, and 100^010 = 110

BitLShift / BitShl / BitSal(int, int)

@since v2.60

Shift the bits of a number to the left.

Examples:

Shifts the bits of the number 5 two bits to the left:
BitLShift(5, 2) = 20 (since 101 << 2 = 10100)

BitRShiftL( / BitRShiftU(int, int) / BitShr(int, int)

@since v2.60

Shift the bits of an unsigned integer to the right. (Logical, zero fill, Right Shift)

Examples:

Shifts the bits of the number -42 one bit to the right, treating it as unsigned:
BitRShiftL(-42, 1) = 2147483627 (since 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1101 0110 >> 1 = 0111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1110 1011)

Note: -42 = -(1+2^0+2^3+2^5) = (unsigned) (2^32-1)-(2^0+2^3+2^5) = 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1101 0110

BitRShiftA / BitRShiftS / BitSar(int, int)

@since v2.60

Shift the bits of an integer to the right. (Arithmetic, Sign bit fill, Right Shift)

Examples:

Shifts the bits of the number -42 one bit to the right, treating it as signed:
BitRShiftA(-42, 1) = -21 (since 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1101 0110 >> 1 = 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1110 1011)

BitLRotate / BitRol(int, int)

@since v2.60

Rotates the bits of an integer to the left by the number of bits specified in the second operand. For each rotation specified, the high order bit that exits from the left of the operand returns at the right to become the new low order bit.

Examples:

Rotates the bits of the number -2147483642 one bit to the left:
BitLRotate(-2147483642, 1) = 13 (since 10000000000000000000000000000110 ROL 1 = 00000000000000000000000000001101)

BitRRotateL(int, int), BitRor(int, int)

@since v2.60

Rotates the bits of an integer to the right by the number of bits specified in the second operand. For each rotation specified, the low order bit that exits from the right of the operand returns at the left to become the new high order bit.

Examples:

Rotates the bits of the number 13 one bit to the right:
BitRRotate(13, 1) = -2147483642 (since 00000000000000000000000000001101 ROR 1 = 10000000000000000000000000000110)

BitTest / BitTst(int, int)

@since v2.60

Tests a single bit (that is, it returns true if its state is one, else it returns false). The second operand denotes the location of the bit which is specified as an offset from the low order end of the operand (starting at zero).

Examples:

Check the state of the fourth bit:
BitTest(3, 4) = False
BitTest(19, 4) = True

Check the state of the sign bit:
BitTest(-1, 31) = True
BitTest(2147483647, 31) = False

BitSet(int, int)

@since v2.60

Sets a single bit to one (so it sets its state to one). The second operand denotes the location of the bit which is specified as an offset from the low order end of the operand (starting at zero).

Examples:

Set the state of the fourth bit to one:
BitSet(3, 4) = 19
BitSet(19, 4) = 19

Set the state of the sign bit to one:
BitSet(-1, 31) = -1
BitSet(2147483647, 31) = -1

BitClear / BitClr(int, int)

@since v2.60

Sets a single bit to zero (so it sets its state to zero). The second operand denotes the location of the bit which is specified as an offset from the low order end of the operand (starting at zero).

Examples:

Clear the bits of the number 5
BitClear(5, 0) = 4 (first bit is set to zero)
BitClear(5, 1) = 5 (second bit is already zero)
BitClear(5, 2) = 1 (third bit is set to zero)
BitClear(5, 3) = 5 (fourth bit is already zero)

Clear the state of the sign bit:
BitClear(-1, 31) = 2147483647

BitChange / BitChg(int, int)

@since v2.60

Sets a single bit to its complement (so it changes the state of a single bit; 1 becomes 0 and vice versa). The second operand denotes the location of the bit which is specified as an offset from the low order end of the operand (starting at zero). The sign bit is bit 31.

Examples:

Change the state of the a bit of the number 5:
BitChange(5, 0) = 4 (first bit is set to zero)
BitChange(5, 1) = 7 (second bit is set to one)
BitChange(5, 2) = 1 (third bit is set to zero)
BitChange(5, 3) = 13 (fourth bit is set to one)

Change the state of the sign bit:
BitChange(-1, 31) = 2147483647
