SHL Operator

Does a left shift operation on a bit pattern.

Syntax

pattern SHL number

Parts

pattern

An integer expression.

number

An integer expression.

Instructions

If pattern is a signed data type (Int8, Int16, Int32, Int64, or Int128), the operation is an arithmetic left shift. An arithmetic shift is ... TODO

If pattern is an unsigned data type (UInt8, UInt16, UInt32, UInt64, or UInt128), the operation is a logical left shift. A logical shift is ... TODO

Examples

Var pattern As Int16 = 42
Var shift_0 = pattern SHL 0
Var shift_1 = pattern SHL 1
Var shift_8 = pattern SHL 8
Var shift_neg = pattern SHL -1
