ISHFTC(I, SHIFT, SIZE)

Performs a circular shift of the rightmost bits; that is, bits shifted off one end are inserted again at the other end.

I

must be of type integer.

SHIFT

must be of type integer. The absolute value of SHIFT must be less than or equal to SIZE.

SIZE (optional)

must be of type integer. The value of SIZE must be positive and must not exceed BIT_SIZE (I). If SIZE is absent, it is as if it were present with the value of BIT_SIZE (I).

Class

Elemental function

Result Type and Attributes

Same as I.

Result Value

The result has the value obtained by shifting the SIZE rightmost bits of I circularly by SHIFT positions. If SHIFT is positive, the shift is to the left; if SHIFT is negative, the shift is to the right; and, if SHIFT is zero, no shift is performed. No bits are lost. The unshifted bits are unaltered.

The bits are numbered 0 to BIT_SIZE(I)-1, from right to left.

Examples

ISHFTC (3, 2, 3) has the value 5. See Integer Bit Model.
