Doing Binary In BASIC

When programming in assembly language, dealing with binary arithmetic is a straightforward affair. Your computer is designed in a deep way around binary numbers, operations, and arithmetic.

But layer a programming language like BASIC on top of it, and there are significant hurdles to dealing in binary.

Dealing with binary is important in the following use cases:

a) Determining if a number is even or odd b) Packing 1-bit data together for space efficiency c) Left shifts and right shifts on signed and unsigned data d) Calculation complex conditional expressions without using IF e) Signed and unsigned integer arithmetic f) Masking bits

Although the manuals may document effectively what each of the logical operators do, it does not
