CLAD2017 - Answer the requirement: Find those ones

[SercoSteveB]

You are tasked with writing a VI that searches an input array of U8 numeric values (Data Array In) and identifies which elements within that array contain values that have one or more of the same BITs set to B'1' as those in a match U8 numeric (Match Value) .  Elements in the input array that have one or more of the same BITs set to B'1' as those in the match numeric should be added to a U8 array returned by the VI (Matched Elements Array Out).  Which of the following VIs does NOT satisfy those requirements?

Example: If the Match Value = 5 (B'00000101) only elements from Data Array In with BIT2 and/or BIT0 set to B'1' should be included in Matched Elements Array Out.

Have a go at coding a VI yourself or expand the Spoiler tag to see the answer options:

I like A for this one (unless I'm not understanding the problem well). It's exactly how I made it before looking at the options.

[SercoSteveB]

Hi ARL00000000000000 (hope I spelt that correctly).  Have another read of the question, it is a variation on the normal theme.

[ARL00000000000000]

LOL... I totally missed the (very clearly highlighted) "NOT satisfy", I was thinking how on earth is "C" possibly correct?

So yes, "C" is most certainly not going to satisfy the requirement.

Took a while to figure out, but I finally understand it!

C.  I needed some time, more than my morning check of the blog, to digest this one.  Is this similar to a "new" CLAD question? 

[SercoSteveB]

I haven't seen a find the one that doesn't satisfy the requirements type question, but why not. What I am more interested in is, is it your final answer?

Answer: C.  Nice one all.

[Priya16]

Can anyone please explain the Difference between C & D in detail? Exactly where the difference will occur to get matched element in D not C?

[Shane-C]

C is comparing every element of the U8 to a single bit from the Match value.  D is comparing every element of the U8 to every element of the match value.  See where the auto indexing terminal are?
