Want to shift bits with addition of 1

[LinuxGuy]

Hi,

I want to add bits to present number. Shift operator pushes bits and
add '0' at the end.

I want to shift bits and want to add 1 at end

Ex,

1)
suppose Input 0000
for 1 bit I want output as 0001

2)
Input 0100
for 1 bit output should be
1001
any help is welcome.

Thanks

Thats not a quesion regarding standard C++ !!
Anyways, why not just shift left 1 and add 1 ? i.e. f(x) = (x <<1 )+ 1
Or,still faster, shift left 1 and bitwise or with 1 : i.e. f(x) = (x <<
1) | 1

Thats like saying a "how can I loop 3 times" question doesn't concern
the C++ standard!

The C++ shift operator is '<<'. Bitwise or is '|'. And there you have
it.

how do you know y = (x << 1) | 1;
is faster than y = = (x << 1) + 1; ?
which implementations did you measure it on?

unsigned int x(0);
x |= 1;

2)
Input 0100
for 1 bit output should be
1001

unsigned int x(4);
x = (x << 1) | 1;

I'm not sure if the parentheses are strictly necessary,
I just used them to ensure order of operations rather
than having to look up precedence rules.

Finally, note that the number of bits used to represent
a given type depends upon the implementation, subject
to minimum requirements, e.g. 'unsigned int' must
have at least 16 bits, but could have more.
