bitwiseShiftLeft
|
The bitwiseShiftLeft function bitwise left shifts the first Integer
{int1} by the number of bits specified in the second number {int2}
and returns the result as an Integer.
The arguments are assumed to be Integers, and are not checked for the correct type.
Characters and Boolean arguments will be treated as Integers in this function. Usage The bitwiseShiftLeft function is an inexpensive substitute for multiplying
a number if the multiplier is a power of 2. In other words, multiplying a number by 2
(21) s the same as shifting left the number by 1, and multiplying a number by 4 (22)
is the same as shifting left the number by 2, etc.
(bitwiseShiftLeft num1 num2) The result after shifting left the {int1} argument by {int2} times.
