Abstract
In a method of processing binary data by a computer to detect a state of the binary data, the first step is to perform an AND logic operation on the binary data and data obtained by subtracting binary one from the binary data. The second step is to repeatedly perform the AND logic operation on new binary data obtained by the AND logic operation executed in the first step and data obtained by subtracting binary one from the new binary data until a result of the AND logic operation executed in the second step becomes zero. The third step is to count the number of times that the second step has been repeatedly performed until the result of the AND logic operation becomes zero. The fourth step is to detect the state of the binary data on the basis of the number of times counted by the step c). The number of times counted by the third step indicates the number of bits indicating binary ones contained in the binary data.
