bitwiseShiftRight
|
The bitwiseShiftRight function bitwise right 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 bitwiseShiftRight 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 right the number by 1, and multiplying a number by 4 (22)
is the same as shifting right the number by 2, etc.
(bitwiseShiftRight num1 num2) The result after shifting right the {int1} argument by {int2} times.
