I'm trying to use &
operator on a signal and get another signal in Circom circuit compiler language like so:
pragma circom 2.0.0;
template MAIN() {
signal input a;
signal output x;
signal v;
v <== 168;
x <== v & 31;
}
component main = MAIN();
I'm getting this error:
error[T3001]: Non quadratic constraints are not allowed!
┌─ "/Users/ilia/compiling/main-circom/main.circom":146:5
│
146 │ x <== v & 31; // 0b00011111
│ ^^^^^^^^^^^^ found here
│
= call trace:
->MAIN
How can I generate a constraint for x signal so that it is quadratic?
I did it with Num2Bits
:
// the code bellow is a quadratic equivalent of:
// x <== v & 31; // 0b00011111
component num2Bits = Num2Bits(8);
num2Bits.in <== v;
signal vbits[8];
for(k = 0; k < 8; k++) {
vbits[k] <== num2Bits.out[k];
}
var lc1=0;
var e2 = 1;
for (var i = 0; i<5; i++) {
lc1 += vbits[i] * e2;
e2 = e2 + e2;
}
lc1 ==> x;
