shift(integer)
– or –
shift(integer,#ofShifts) If #ofShifts is:
• omitted — bits shift once to the right
(default is
L 1).
• negative — bits shift the specified number
of times to the right.
• positive — bits shift the specified number
of times to the left.
In a right shift, the rightmost bit is dropped
and 0 or 1 is inserted to match the leftmost
bit. In a left shift, the leftmost bit is dropped
and 0 is inserted as the rightmost bit.
Suppose you enter:
shift( 0h7AC36 )
Internally, the hexadecimal integer is
converted to a signed, 32-bit binary number.
Then the shift is applied to the binary number.
