shift_left function
PostPosted: Thu Oct 15, 2015 1:38 am     Reply with quote
I need to use functionality like shift_left function but I can't understand exactly how is working. I test with array of bytes[4]

Code:

int8 number[4] = { 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0xDC};
   
   lcd_init();
   
   while(1)
   {
      printf(lcd_putc, "\f");     
      lcd_gotoxy(2, 2);
     
      shift_left(number, 4, 0);
     
      delay_ms(50);
     
      lcd_gotoxy(2, 1);
     
     
      printf(lcd_putc, "%u, %u, %u, %u", number[0], number[1], number[2], number[3]);
      delay_ms(3000);
   }


And this is few results

0000 0000 1000 0000 0000 0000 1000 0001
etc.


I don't understand why in last element of array when is 0 next time is start 1.

Look at how the shift works. It shift number[0] and the overflow goes to number[1] etc. So if you print 3,2,1,0 then it will be as expected.

Now, what you post has no resemblance to the output you are going to get. Where is it coming from?.

You will get

2, 4, 6, 18
44, 8, 12, 11
28, 16, 24, 22

etc.

After 32 passes, you will get 0, 0, 0, 0

So first thing, switch to a numeric format that makes it easier to see what is going on. This is where hex is much easier:

%02x, %02x, %02x, %02x

Your lines will then stay the same length, and you will get

Code:

02, 04, 06, b8
04, 08, 0c, 70
08, 10, 18, e0
10, 20, 30, c0
20, 40, 60, 80
40, 80, c0, 00
80, 00, 81, 01
00, 01, 02, 03
00, 02, 04, 06
00, 04, 08, 0c
00, 08, 10, 18
00, 10, 20, 30
00, 20, 40, 60
00, 40, 80, c0
00, 80, 00, 81
00, 00, 01, 02
00, 00, 02, 04
00, 00, 04, 08
00, 00, 08, 10
00, 00, 10, 20
00, 00, 20, 40
00, 00, 40, 80
00, 00, 80, 00
00, 00, 00, 01
00, 00, 00, 02
00, 00, 00, 04
00, 00, 00, 08
00, 00, 00, 10
00, 00, 00, 20
00, 00, 00, 40
00, 00, 00, 80
00, 00, 00, 00

Now you can see what is happening.

If you want, you can even use itoa, and output the value in binary directly.

The value for each 'number' doubles as the bits move up (left). When a bit gets to the top, it moves over to the bottom of the next number. So at line 7, 0x80, in the first number, after the rotation in line 8 appears as 0x01 in the next number. At line 24, there is only one bit left, the '1' in the bottom of the last number. Seven shifts later,, this is at the top of the number, and the next rotation takes it out the top, and nothing is left. From this point, the output is 00, 00, 00, 00, no matter how much longer you run the program.

OK. Now I understand how is working. Thanks a lot Alan and Ttelmah.
I have one more question. If I have 8 elements in array of bytes. From where is start. From element[0] to element[3] or from element[4] to element[7]? And again I write

Code:
shift_left(number, 4, 0);

LSB is lowest in RAM on a PIC. The bits move up the bits in the byte (so the effective value doubles with each shift), then up the bytes in memory.
