(ash i c)
is the result of taking the two's complement
representation of the integer i
and shifting it by c
bits: shifting
left and padding with c
0
bits if c
is positive, shifting right and
dropping (abs c)
bits if c
is negative, and simply returning i
if c
is 0
.
The guard for ash
requires that its arguments are integers.
Ash
is a Common Lisp function. See any Common Lisp documentation
for more information.
