ProtoFlux:Rotate Left

Rotate

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.
