lshift

lshift(X,bits) or X<<bits

X is an integral scalar/pair/vector/matrix/table.

bits is the number of bits to shift.

Shift the binary representation of X to the left by bits. The bits on the right are filled with zeros.

lshift(2, 10);
// output
2048

1..10 << 1;
// output
[2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20]

1..10 << 10;
// output
[1024,2048,3072,4096,5120,6144,7168,8192,9216,10240]

1:10<<10;
// output
1024 : 10240
