ee.Number.leftShift

  • The Number.leftShift method calculates the left shift of a number by a specified number of bits.

  • It takes two number arguments, the left-hand value to be shifted and the right-hand value specifying the number of bits to shift.

  • The method returns a number representing the result of the left shift operation.

 Calculates the left shift of v1 by v2 bits.

UsageReturns
Number.leftShift(right)Number
ArgumentTypeDetails
this: leftNumberThe left-hand value.
rightNumberThe right-hand value.
