bitshift
Bit-wise shift
C = bitshift(A,n)
C = bitshift(A,n)
A shifted by n bits. If n>0, this is same as a multiplication by 2n (left shift). If n<0, this is the same as a division by 2n (right shift). A must be a nonnegative integer, which you can ensure by using the ceil, fix, floor, and round functions.
Shifting 1100 (12, decimal) to the left two bits yields 110000 (48, decimal).
C = bitshift(12,2)
C =
48
