A bit disposal apparatus includes a register (16) which is divided at a truncation point (14) into a left register segment (18) and a right register segment (28), wherein bits to be disposed of are contained in the right register segment (28). A decision mechanism (20) initially examines the bits in the right register segment (28) and transmit a "1" signal, if and only if any of the bits in the right register segment (28) is a "1", into the least significant bit location (26a) of a result register (26). |
