bitwise.ulshift() function	`bitwise.ulshift()` shifts the bits in `a` left by `b` bits. Both `a` and `b` are unsigned integers.	flux_v0_ref name parent identifier bitwise.ulshift bitwise bitwise/ulshift	101

bitwise.ulshift() shifts the bits in a left by b bits. Both a and b are unsigned integers.

Function type signature

(a: uint, b: uint) => uint

{{% caption %}} For more information, see Function type signatures. {{% /caption %}}

Parameters

a

({{< req >}}) Left hand operand.

b

({{< req >}}) Number of bits to shift.

Examples

• Shift bits left in an unsigned integer
• Shift bits left in unsigned integers in a stream of tables

Shift bits left in an unsigned integer

import "bitwise"

bitwise.ulshift(a: uint(v: 1234), b: uint(v: 2))// Returns 4936 (uint)

Shift bits left in unsigned integers in a stream of tables

import "bitwise"
import "sampledata"

sampledata.uint()
    |> map(fn: (r) => ({r with _value: bitwise.ulshift(a: r._value, b: uint(v: 3))}))
