Logical NOR - how to achieve, best practice

[Jay Dee]

Hi guys,
Previously Jonny has suggested avoiding using too many Logical Operators as they could potentially cause lots of branches and unpredictable behavior during compiling.
What is a good practice method of returning 1, when both source variables are 0?

Although the variables will be whole bytes, only the first bit is ever used...so can I get away with bitwise?
Output = Input1 NOR Input2 ??
Output = Not ( Input1 OR input2)
thanks, J.

Hello,

What about this?

(!(input1 | input2)) & 0x01

Thanks Ben,
I'll use that for now, I thought Logical operators were best avoided or is that not always the case? As i see your example uses 3 different types.

Hello,

Jonny may know bettet but I think as long as it is bracketed correctly then it shouldn't be an issue.

This should also work.

(~(input1 | input2)) & 0x01

Thanks for the clarification Ben.
Good stuff.
Coming from a non-cody back ground, its always tricky working out whats ugly but works VS a neat little program!
