bitbroadcast

bitbroadcast(f, As...)

Like broadcast, but allocates a BitArray to store the result, rather then an Array.

Examples

1. Broadcast a function over multiple bit arrays:

   julia> bitbroadcast.(xor, BitArray([1, 0, 1, 0]), BitArray([0, 1, 1, 0]))
   4-element BitArray{1}:
   1
   1
   0
   0

   This example uses bitbroadcast to apply the xor function element-wise over two BitArrays.

2. Broadcast a function over a bit array and other arguments:

   julia> bitbroadcast.(bitand, BitArray([1, 1, 0, 0]), 0b1100)
   4-element BitArray{1}:
   0
   0
   0
   0

   Here, bitbroadcast is used to perform a bitwise bitand operation between a BitArray and an integer value.

3. Apply a function to a single bit array:

   julia> bitbroadcast.(~, BitArray([1, 0, 1, 0]))
   4-element BitArray{1}:
   0
   1
   0
   1

   This example demonstrates the use of bitbroadcast to apply the bitwise negation (~) function to a single BitArray.

Common mistake example:

julia> bitbroadcast.(+, BitArray([1, 0, 1]), BitArray([0, 1]))
ERROR: DimensionMismatch("arrays could not be broadcast to a common size")

In this example, the two BitArrays being broadcasted have different sizes, resulting in a DimensionMismatch error. Make sure that the dimensions of the input arrays are compatible for broadcasting with bitbroadcast.
