function [ bvec3, overflow ] = bvec_add ( n, bvec1, bvec2 ) %*****************************************************************************80 % %% BVEC_ADD adds two binary vectors. % % Discussion: % % A BVEC is an integer vector of binary digits, intended to % represent an integer. BVEC(1) is the units digit, BVEC(N-1) % is the coefficient of 2**(N-2), and BVEC(N) contains sign % information. It is 0 if the number is positive, and 1 if % the number is negative. % % Example: % % N = 4 % % BVEC1 dec BVEC2 dec BVEC3 dec % ------- --- ------- --- ------- --- % 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 3 0 0 1 0 4 % % Licensing: % % This code is distributed under the GNU LGPL license. % % Modified: % % 01 December 2006 % % Author: % % John Burkardt % % Parameters: % % Input, integer N, the length of the vectors. % % Input, integer BVEC1(N), BVEC2(N), the vectors to be added. % % Output, integer BVEC3(N), the sum of the two input vectors. % % Output, logical OVERFLOW, is true if the sum overflows. % base = 2; overflow = 0; bvec3(1:n) = floor ( bvec1(1:n) ) + floor ( bvec2(1:n) ); for i = 1 : n while ( base <= bvec3(i) ) bvec3(i) = bvec3(i) - base; if ( i < n ) bvec3(i+1) = bvec3(i+1) + 1; else overflow = 1; end end end return end
