In-Depth Information
Notice that
show( )
specifies one
long
parameter. This does not mean that you al-
ways have to pass
show( )
a
long
value, however. Because of Java's automatic type
promotions, any integer type can be passed to
show( )
. The number of bits displayed
is determined by the value stored in
numbits
. After each group of 8 bits,
show( )
outputs a space. This makes it easier to read the binary values of long bit patterns.
