# Shift Array (G Dataflow)

Shifts the elements in an array by a specified number of shifts.

This node does not rotate the elements in the array. This node disposes of the elements of the input sequence shifted outside the range. You cannot recover those elements by shifting the array in the opposite direction.

## reset

A Boolean that specifies whether to reset the internal state of the node.

 True Resets the internal state of the node. False Does not reset the internal state of the node.

This input is available only if you wire a double-precision, floating-point number to input array.

Default: False

## input array

Input array to shift.

This input changes to input data point when the data type is a double-precision, floating-point number.

## input data point

Input data point to shift.

This input changes to input array when the data type is a 1D array of double-precision, floating-point numbers.

## number of shifts

Direction and number of shifts to apply to the input array. This node shifts the input array to the right if number of shifts is positive and to the left if number of shifts is negative.

The absolute value of number of shifts must be less than the number of elements in input array. If the absolute value of number of shifts is greater than or equal to the number of elements in input array, this node sets shifted array to 0 and returns an error.

Default: 0

## error in

Error conditions that occur before this node runs.

The node responds to this input according to standard error behavior.

Standard Error Behavior

Many nodes provide an error in input and an error out output so that the node can respond to and communicate errors that occur while code is running. The value of error in specifies whether an error occurred before the node runs. Most nodes respond to values of error in in a standard, predictable way.

error in does not contain an error error in contains an error
If no error occurred before the node runs, the node begins execution normally.

If no error occurs while the node runs, it returns no error. If an error does occur while the node runs, it returns that error information as error out.

If an error occurred before the node runs, the node does not execute. Instead, it returns the error in value as error out.

Default: No error

## shifted array

Output sequence.

This output changes to shifted data point when the input data type is a double-precision, floating-point number.

## shifted data point

Output sequence.

This output changes to shifted array when the input data type is a 1D array of double-precision, floating-point numbers.

## error out

Error information.

The node produces this output according to standard error behavior.

## Algorithm for Shifting Arrays

Let the sequence Y represent the output sequence shifted array. Then the elements of Y are related to the elements of X by the following equation:

${Y}_{i}=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}{X}_{i-\mathrm{shifts}}& \mathrm{if}\text{\hspace{0.17em}}0\le i-\mathrm{shifts}

for i = 0, 1, ..., n - 1,

where n is the number of elements in input array.
