Java Integer - rotateLeft() Method
The java.lang.Integer.rotateLeft() method returns the value obtained by rotating the two's complement binary representation of the specified int value left by the specified number of bits. (Bits shifted out of the left hand, or high-order, side reenter on the right, or low-order.)
Syntax
public static int rotateLeft(int i, int distance)
Parameters
i |
Specify the value whose bits are to be rotated left. |
distance |
Specify the number of bit positions to rotate left. |
Return Value
Returns the value obtained by rotating the two's complement binary representation of the specified int value left by the specified number of bits.
Exception
NA.
Example:
In the example below, the java.lang.Integer.rotateLeft() method returns the value which is obtained by rotating the two's complement binary representation of the given int value left by the given number of bits.
import java.lang.*; public class MyClass { public static void main(String[] args) { //creating int values int x = 51; int y = 251; //printing the values obtained by rotating left System.out.println("The result is = " + Integer.rotateLeft(x, 2)); System.out.println("The result is = " + Integer.rotateLeft(y, 3)); } }
The output of the above code will be:
The result is = 204 The result is = 2008
