Bit Rotation & Shift Lab
Rotate fixed-width words or apply logical and arithmetic shifts, inspect dropped bits and compare binary, hex and decimal results.
Ready. Explore the example or use the input controls to begin.
Scope and practical limits
Widths 1–256 bits, up to 500 words. Amount 0–1,000,000. Rotations wrap modulo width; shifts saturate beyond width. Arithmetic right shift sign-extends the declared word.

Using Bit Rotation & Shift Lab
Rotate fixed-width words or apply logical and arithmetic shifts, inspect dropped bits and compare binary, hex and decimal results.
- Start with the example and choose the declared input representation and any bit width.
- Change the operation or format, then inspect the precise result and validation messages.
- Copy the output or download text, JSON or a CSV audit. Save a project to retain editable inputs.
Example
8-bit 10000001 rotated left once is 00000011. Arithmetic right shift produces 11000000.
