Proposed next step(s):

  1. see Proposed Tasks above
  2. test PackedArray, but especially EnumArray in gandalf.util pkg
  3. ...

Bitwise & Enum:

The code in BwEx1a and BwEx2a are put into gandalf under "util" package. They are corrected (>>> operator eliminated because it is buggy in Java), improved (BwEx1 is made a little simpler and more efficient), and some javadoc comments are added. The code here becomes outdated and is provided for overview only. It may be removed/retired. The main up-to-date code resides in gandalf's util package, now.
  1. Enumerated types in Java
  2. Bitwise Example 1
  3. Bitwise Example 2   2a (shorter but need to handle >>>)   2a's photo
