Hi, is there a Circular left bit shift operator for 64 bits? for exemple I have this number x=9223372036855037954 circular left shift and right shift by 4 bits should give the following results: xr=2882303761517133824 xl=4194344 thanks a lot

a = uint64(9223372036855037954); % Not correct in 2009a!
n = rem(n, 64);
bitor(bitshift(a, -n), bitshift(a, (64-n)))
bitor(bitshift(a, n), bitshift(a, (n-64)))

See: http://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/9886-uint64-equivalence
In 2009a, "a=uint64(9223372036855037954)" leads to: a = 9223372036855037951. Unfortunately the number is converted to a DOUBLE at first loosing some bits of precision, and cast to UINT64 afterwards. This behavior has been made consistent in 2010b. The UINT64 support in 2009a is very limited, e.g. operators are not implemented.
Please post your Matlab version.

No there is not. Extract the N bits at the edge using bitget(), use bitshift() to do the shift, and then bitset() the extra bits into place at the other edge.

bitget() does not have such a restriction in R2009b.

However, you may have difficulty constructing an unsigned numeric object with higher-order bits set in R2009b. That is a problem with the MATLAB parser, not with the operation of bitget.
