Purpose

Function to shift the bits in a numeric value a specified number of places to the left


Syntax

BITLSHIFT(<expN1>,<expN2>)


See Also

BITAND(), BITCLEAR(), BITNOT(), BITOR(), BITRSHIFT(), BITSET(), BITTEST(), BITXOR()


Description

The BITLSHIFT() function shifts the bits in the numeric value <expN1> the specified number of places to the left <expN2> and returns the new value. If <expN1> and <expN2> are not integers, they will be converted to integer values before the shift takes place.


Example

x = 6			&& 0110
y = 1
? bitlshift(x,y)
        12		&& 1100
