bitwise & doesn't work with bytes in kotlin

问题

I'm trying to write kotlin code like:

for (byte b : hash)  
     stringBuilder.append(String.format("%02x", b&0xff));

but I have nothing to do with the "&". I'm trying to use "b and 0xff" but it doesn't work. The bitwise "and" seems to work on Int, not byte.

java.lang.String.format("%02x", (b and 0xff))

it's ok to use

1 and 0xff

回答1:

Kolin provides bitwise operator-like infix functions available for Int and Long only.

So it's necessary to convert bytes to ints to perform bitwise ops:

val b : Byte = 127
val res = (b.toInt() and 0x0f).toByte() // evaluates to 15

UPDATE: Since Kotlin 1.1 these operations are available directly on Byte.

From bitwiseOperations.kt:

@SinceKotlin("1.1") 
public inline infix fun Byte.and(other: Byte): Byte = (this.toInt() and other.toInt()).toByte()

回答2:

Bitwise "and" of any byte-value and 0xff will always return the original value.

It is simple to see this if you draw the bits in a diagram:

00101010   42
11111111   and 0xff
--------
00101010   gives 42
