"To be or not to be?" -- solved!

[miriam_e]

to be or not to be
= 2B OR NOT(2B)
= (00101011) OR NOT(00101011)
= 00101011 OR 11010100
= 11111111
= FF
= -1
= FALSE

So the answer to "to be or not to be?" is "no".

That is an old one. It is good though isn't it. Heheheh

Do they teach you hexadecimal, binary, and bitwise logic operations at school? You are soooo lucky. Wish they did when I was a kid. I had to teach myself all that stuff. Mind you, I learn best when teaching myself anyway so it might not have made much difference if it had been taught at school. :)
