{{DISPLAYTITLE:_SHR}}
|
|
The [[_SHR]] function is used to shift the bits of a numerical value to the right.
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{PageSyntax}}
|
|
:{{Parameter|result}} = [[_SHR]]({{Parameter|numericalVariable}}, {{Parameter|numericalValue}})
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{PageParameters}}
|
|
* {{Parameter|numericalVariable}} is the variable to shift the bits of and can be of the following types: [[INTEGER]], [[LONG]], [[_INTEGER64]], or [[_BYTE]].
|
|
* Integer values can be signed or [[_UNSIGNED]].
|
|
* {{Parameter|numericalValue}} the number of places to shift the bits.
|
|
* While 0 is a valid value it will have no affect on the variable being shifted.
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{PageDescription}}
|
|
* Allows for division of a value by 2 faster than normal division (see example 2 below).
|
|
* Bits that reach the end of a variables bit count are dropped.
|
|
* The type of variable used to store the results should match the type of the variable being shifted.
|
|
* NOTE: When dealing with SIGNED variables, shifting the bits right will leave the sign bit set. This is due to how C++ deals with bit shifting under the hood.
|
|
|
|
{{PageAvailability}}
|
|
* Version 1.3 and up.
