BitSet
Gets the value of an integer with a specified bit set.
result = BitSet( value, bit_number )
value
Returns the integer value with the specified bit set.
This macro expands to a copy of the integer value with the specified bit_number set (to on, or `1`). Behaves as `value Or (1 Shl bit_number)`.
The valid range of values for bit_number depends on the size, in bits, of `TypeOf(value)`, which is `0` through `SizeOf(value) * 8 - 1`. See Standard Datatype Limits for a table of the standard datatypes and their sizes.
will produce the output:

Return Value
Returns the integer value with the specified bit set.
Description
This macro expands to a copy of the integer value with the specified bit_number set (to on, or `1`). Behaves as `value Or (1 Shl bit_number)`.
The valid range of values for bit_number depends on the size, in bits, of `TypeOf(value)`, which is `0` through `SizeOf(value) * 8 - 1`. See Standard Datatype Limits for a table of the standard datatypes and their sizes.
Example
Print BitSet(4, 0)
Print Hex(BitSet(1ull, 63))
Print Hex(BitSet(1ull, 63))
will produce the output:
5 8000000000000001
