ROL
Boolean
The Rotate Left node takes in a value we want to rotate (using a bitwise operation, called a circular shift) and the amount we want to rotate by to the left, and returns the new rotated value. Rotating is the act of moving the bits in a byte in a direction, and when rotating, the bits that fall outside the bounds will cycle around to the other side of the byte.
Inputs
A (Pseudo-Generic)
The value we want to rotate.
Rotate (int)
The amount to rotate this value by to the left.
Outputs
* (Pseudo-Generic)
The new rotated value.
