shift() CATALOG
shift( integer1 [, #ofShifts ]) ⇒ integer
Shifts the bits in a binary integer. You can enter
integer1 in any number base; it is converted
automatically to a signed, 32-bit binary form. If
the magnitude of
integer1 is too large for this
form, a symmetric modulo operation brings it
within the range.
If
#ofShifts is positive, the shift is to the left. If
#ofShifts is negative, the shift is to the right. The
default is ë 1 (shift right one bit).
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.
For example, in a right shift:
In Bin base mode:
shift(0b1111010110000110101)
¸
0b111101011000011010
shift(256,1) ¸
0b1000000000
In Hex base mode:
shift(0h78E) ¸ 0h3C7
shift(0h78E,ë 2) ¸ 0h1E3
shift(0h78E,2) ¸ 0h1E38
Important: To enter a binary or hexadecimal
number, always use the 0b or 0h prefix (zero,
not the letter O).
0b00000000000001111010110000110101
produces:
0b00000000000000111101011000011010
The result is displayed according to the
Base
mode. Leading zeros are not shown.
shift( list1 [, #ofShifts ]) ⇒ list
Returns a copy of list1 shifted right or left by
#ofShifts elements. Does not alter list1 .
If
#ofShifts is positive, the shift is to the left. If
#ofShifts is negative, the shift is to the right. The
default is ë 1 (shift right one element).
Elements introduced at the beginning or end of
list by the shift are set to the symbol “undef”.
In Dec base mode:
shift({1,2,3,4}) ¸
{undef 1 2 3}
shift({1,2,3,4},ë 2) ¸
{undef undef 1 2}
shift({1,2,3,4},1) ¸
{2 3 4 undef}
shift( string1 [, #ofShifts ]) ⇒ string
Returns a copy of string1 shifted right or left by
#ofShifts characters. Does not alter string1 .
If
#ofShifts is positive, the shift is to the left. If
#ofShifts is negative, the shift is to the right. The
default is ë 1 (shift right one character).
Characters introduced at the beginning or end of
string by the shift are set to a space.
shift("abcd") ¸ " abc"
shift("abcd",ë 2) ¸ " ab"
shift("abcd",1) ¸ "bcd "
Inserts 0 if leftmost bit is 0,
or 1 if leftmost bit is 1.
Each bit shifts right.
