Rotates bits to the left (_rotl) or right (_rotr).

Syntax

  
      unsigned int _rotl(  
   unsigned int value,  
   int shift   
);  
unsigned __int64 _rotl64(  
   unsigned __int64 value,   
   int shift  
);  
unsigned int _rotr(  
   unsigned int value,  
   int shift   
);  
unsigned __int64 _rotr64(  
   unsigned __int64 value,  
   int shift  
);

Parameters

value
Value to be rotated.

shift
Number of bits to shift.

Return Value

The rotated value. There is no error return.

Remarks

The _rotl and _rotr functions rotate the unsigned value by shift bits. _rotl rotates the value left. _rotr rotates the value right. Both functions wrap bits rotated off one end of value to the other end.

Requirements

Routine	Required header
_rotl, _rotl64	<stdlib.h>
_rotr, _rotr64	<stdlib.h>

For more compatibility information, see Compatibility in the Introduction.

Libraries

All versions of the C run-time libraries.

Example

// crt_rot.c  
/* This program shifts values to rotate an integer.  
 */  
  
#include <stdlib.h>  
#include <stdio.h>  
  
int main( void )  
{  
   unsigned val = 0x0fd93;  
   __int64 val2 = 0x0101010101010101;  
  
   printf( "0x%4.4x rotated left three times is 0x%4.4x\n",   
           val, _rotl( val, 3 ) );  
   printf( "0x%4.4x rotated right four times is 0x%4.4x\n",   
           val, _rotr( val, 4 ) );  
  
   printf( "%I64x rotated left three times is %I64x\n",  
           val2, _rotl64( val2, 3 ) );  
   printf( "%I64x rotated right four times is %I64x\n",   
           val2, _rotr64( val2, 4 ) );  
}

Output

0xfd93 rotated left three times is 0x7ec98  
0xfd93 rotated right four times is 0x30000fd9  
101010101010101 rotated left three times is 808080808080808  
101010101010101 rotated right four times is 1010101010101010
