Bit shift left logical

Syntax

c = bitsll(a, k)

Description

c = bitsll(a, k) returns the result of a logical left shift by k bits on input a for fixed-point operations. bitsll shifts zeros into the positions of bits that it shifts left. The function does not check overflow or underflow. For floating-point operations, bitsll performs a multiply by 2k.

bitsll ignores fimath properties such as RoundingMode and OverflowAction.

When a is a fi object, a and c have the same associated fimath and numerictype objects.

Open Live Script

Shift a signed fi input left by 1 bit.

Create a fi object, and display its binary value. 

a = fi(10,0,4,0);
disp(bin(a))
1010

Shift a left by 1 bit, and display its binary value. 

disp(bin(bitsll(a,1)))
0100

Shift a left by 1 more bit. 

disp(bin(bitsll(a,2)))
1000

Shift left a built-in int8 input using a fi shift value. 

k = fi(2);
a = int8(16);
bitsll(a,k)
ans = int8

64
Open Live Script

Use bitsll to shift an int8 input left by 2 bits. 

a = int8(4);
bitsll(a,2)
ans = int8

16
Open Live Script

Scale a floating-point double input by 23. 

a = double(16);
bitsll(a,3)
ans = 
128
