Line 66: A mask is data that is used for [[bitwise operation]]s, particularly in a [[bit field]]. Using a mask, multiple bits in a [[Byte]], [[nibble]], [[Word (computer architecture)\|word]] (etc.) can be set either on, off or inverted from on to off (or vice versa) in a single bitwise operation. More comprehensive applications of masking are termed [[predication]]. == See also ==
