Тема: User Timezone update with Daylight saving time

Hi there,

We are trying to update user timezone but could not figure our how does AND (&) and OR  (|) bit operator works when calculating with daylight saving time.

Example URL
https://sdk.wialon.com/wiki/en/sidebar/ … me/example

There are hexadecimal values given: -3600 and 0xf000ffff

-3600 & 0xf000ffff
-268373520

After converting hexadecimal values to binary and performing & bit operator we are getting different results.

Can you please give hints how this calculation is actually working.

Best Regards

Re: User Timezone update with Daylight saving time

Hi Arsalan,

First it needs to perform negative value (-3600) to binary as signed value (32 bit), using two’s complement method, where we get invert result : 0 instead 1, 1 instead 0 , plus 1

After we get correct binary value, we can apply mask 0xf000ffff and operation & (and).
We get some binary value which is decimal signed value (negative)

So for this binary value we apply DST mask with operation & (OR) , if there is not DST - the mask = 0x8000000
Final binary value will be represented some decimal negative values, for example tz=-134155792

Here is converter https://www.exploringbinary.com/twos-co … converter/ can help to see how values are performed

Re: User Timezone update with Daylight saving time

Hi Diana,
Thank you for your response.

I understand a majority of what you explained, however I’m stuck on where I can find out what daylight saving time was selected when user saves Time Zone.

Here is example from beginning to end.

User selected timezone, International Date Line West: -43200

-43200 (32 bit) binary using two’s complement method = 11111111111111110101011101000000

We need to perform the operation with mask 0xf000ffff, which has binary equals to = 11110000000000001111111111111111

11111111111111110101011101000000 & 11110000000000001111111111111111 = -1111111111111010100011000000

-1111111111111010100011000000 = -268413120

And we are going to select daylight time saving United States, Canada: from second Sunday in March to first Sunday in November with mask value equals to 0x0A010000
   
-268413120 (32 bit) binary using two’s complement method equals to = 11110000000000000101011101000000

Daylight time saving mask 0x0A010000 binary is equals to =  1010000000010000000000000000

11110000000000000101011101000000 | 1010000000010000000000000000 = -101111111101010100011000000

-101111111101010100011000000 = -100575424

We are on track so far!

Now to reverse the saved settings.

-100575424  (32 bit) binary using two’s complement method = 11111010000000010101011101000000

We need to perform an operation with mask 0xffff, which has binary equals to = 1111111111111111

11111010000000010101011101000000 & 1111111111111111 = 101011101000000

101011101000000 = 22336

To find out what timezone user selected, we need to perform OR operation with mask 0xffff0000

22336 (32 bit) binary using two’s complement method equals to = 00000000000000000101011101000000

We need to perform | (OR) operation with mask 0xffff0000, which has binary equals to = 11111111111111110000000000000000

00000000000000000101011101000000  | 11111111111111110000000000000000 = -1010100011000000

-1010100011000000 = -43200

We successfully reversed timezone value -43200, International Date Line Wes.

But I cannot not understand how to reverse daylight time saving  United States, Canada: from second Sunday in March to first Sunday in November value during the process

Your hints and direction would be highly appreciated.

Thank you,

Hi Arlasan,

When you apply Daylight time saving mask with value 0x0A010000, you just need to apply value = 0x08000000  which means there is not any DST settings.
