y

An input of any numeric representation.

If y is greater than 0, the node shifts x left y bits (from least significant to most significant bit) and inserts zeros in the low-order bits. If y is less than 0, the node shifts x right y bits in the positive direction (from most significant to least significant bit) and inserts zeros in the high-order bits.

x

An input of any integer representation.

If x is an 8-, 16-, 32-, or 64-bit integer and y is greater than 8, 16, or 32, or 64 or is less than -8, -16, -32, or -64, respectively, the output value is all zeros.

x << y

The result of the shift and same numeric representation as x.
