bitwise.ulshift() function

bitwise.ulshift() shifts the bits in a left by b bits. Both a and b are unsigned integers.

Function type signature
(a: uint, b: uint) => uint

For more information, see Function type signatures.

Parameters

a

(Required) Left hand operand.

b

(Required) Number of bits to shift.

Examples

Shift bits left in an unsigned integer

import "bitwise"

bitwise.ulshift(a: uint(v: 1234), b: uint(v: 2))// Returns 4936 (uint)

Shift bits left in unsigned integers in a stream of tables

import "bitwise"
import "sampledata"

sampledata.uint()
    |> map(fn: (r) => ({r with _value: bitwise.ulshift(a: r._value, b: uint(v: 3))}))

The future of Flux

Flux is going into maintenance mode. You can continue using it as you currently are without any changes to your code.

Flux is going into maintenance mode and will not be supported in InfluxDB 3.0. This was a decision based on the broad demand for SQL and the continued growth and adoption of InfluxQL. We are continuing to support Flux for users in 1.x and 2.x so you can continue using it with no changes to your code. If you are interested in transitioning to InfluxDB 3.0 and want to future-proof your code, we suggest using InfluxQL.
