ISHL (integer, shift) Class: Elemental function - Generic Logically shifts an integer left or right by the specified bits. Zeros are shifted in from the opposite end. The "shift" is of type integer; it is the direction and distance of shift. Unlike circular or arithmetic shifts, which can shift ones into the number being shifted, logical shifts shift in zeros only, regardless of the direction or size of the shift. The integer kind, however, still determines the end that bits are shifted out of, which can make a difference in the result (see the following example). Examples: Consider the following: INTEGER(1) i, res1 INTEGER(2) j, res2 i = 10 ! equal to 00001010 j = 10 ! equal to 00000000 00001010 res1 = ISHL (i, 5) ! returns 01000000 = 64 res2 = ISHL (j, 5) ! returns 00000001 01000000 = 320
