ROL16

Result = ROL16(ValueToRotate, Bits)

Parameters:     ValueToRotate=Value that will be rotated     Bits=Number of bits the value will be rotated

Returns:     Result

ROL16 is a bitwise operator that rotates a 16 bit value bitwise to the left.       Bitwise rotate simply rotates the bits in a value. For example, if you have an 8 bit value (Byte), its binary representation is %00001111. If you rotate that byte two times to the right, you get %11000011. The two bits that were in the least significant position are now in the most significant position, and all the other bits are shifted over. FACTS:       * ROL32, ROL16, ROL8, ROR32, ROR16 and ROR8 may alter sign of the rotated value. Mini Tutorial:       Showing the effect of bitwise left rotation function. Try different value, or different numbers of bits to rotate. Replace ROL16 with ROL32 or ROL8    ; Value that will be rotated   Value = 42 ; display this value in binary form   Print Bin$(Value)    ; rotate value by 4 bits   Value = ROL16(Value, 4)    ; Display new value in binary form   Print Bin$(Value)    ;     rotate value by another 8 bits   Value = ROL16(Value, 8)    ; Display new value in binary form   Print Bin$(Value)       ; Display the Screen and wait for the user to press a key   Sync   WaitKey    This example would output.      %00000000000000000000000000101010   %00000000000000000000001010100000   %00000000000000001010000000000010
