The view from the Tee:

  1. You have 2 integer values ($a, $b).
  2. Create function X that returns a value of made up of a mix of bits where each bit is selected from either $a or $b in a controlled way. eg if bit 4 of $a == 1 and bit 4 of $b == 0 and I want $a's bit 4 then X($a,$b,$c)'s return value should have bit 4 == 1.
  3. Function X may accept one and ONLY one parameter in addition to $a,$b.

There is an interesting solution to this hole that I will give and credit later. If you are an old fart assembler programmer and have played this course before, why not give the newer club members a crack at it first.

Four! or is it Fore!
