Ron said what they are. I can only say this: I just recently wished I had
bitwise operators. This would have enabled me to create a random number
generator in POV, which (I think) would have facilitated creating a Perlin noise
macro.
As things stand, I have a working 1D Perlin noise macro, but for the life of me
I can't figure out how to extend it into multiple dimensions. OTOH, I basically
re-invented the wheel here; I haven't looked at how it's done in POV etc. And
since I figured out a bypass, the project is dormant.
