| repetitions = number of shifts to make left |
|
This performs a left binary shift on the value the specified number of times. This basically is a faster method of multiplying the value exponentially. By shifting left once, you are multiplying the value by 2. By shifting left twice, you multiple by 4, etc.
The usefulness of this command is basically faster math execution. |
