bit.
Shift right while copying the original sign bit into the newly opened high positions. This preserves the sign pattern of a signed 32-bit value, though the result is still returned as unsigned.
Luau
bit.arshift(value: number, count: number) -> numberParameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
value | number | Finite number truncated and normalized to unsigned 32 bits. |
count | number | Finite count normalized to 32 bits, then masked with 31. A count of 32 has the same effect as 0. |
Returns
numberAn unsigned 32-bit result represented as a Luau number.
Differences from Volt
Volt documents its Bit Library setting as disabled by default. Kawaii enables bit by default. Disabling the setting removes the bit global and makes retained function references reject calls.
Availability
Bit is enabled by default. The bit global is removed when disabled, and its operations check the setting.
Example
Luau
print(bit.tohex(bit.arshift(0x80000000, 1))) -- c0000000
