Java Utililty Methods Bit Shift

int shift(int a, int b)
shift

if ((0 < b) && (b < 32)) {
 return a << b;
} else if ((-32 < b) && (b < 0)) {
 return a >> (-b);
} else if (b == 0) {
 return a;
} else if (b >= 32) {
 return 0;
...

int shift(int component, int shift)
Bit shifts a color component, loosing the less significant bits

return component >> shift;

long shift(int direction, long sq, int delta)
shift

long result = sq;
for (int i = 0; i < delta; i++) {
 result = shift(direction, result);
return result;

int shift(int length)
shift

int shift = 1;
int shifted = 2;
while (shifted <= length) {
 ++shift;
 shifted <<= 1;
return shift;

String shift(String string)
shift

StringBuilder builder = new StringBuilder();
final String[] strings = string.split("\n");
for (String s : strings) {
 builder.append(" ").append(s).append("\n");
return builder.toString();

byte shiftBits(byte b)
shift Bits

int upper = b << 4 & b1;
int lower = b >> 4 & b2;
return (byte) (upper | lower);

byte shiftByte(byte n, short shift)
shift Byte

if (shift > 0) {
 return (byte) (n << shift);
} else {
 return (byte) (n >> -shift);

char shiftCharacter(char c, int offset)
shift Character

return (char) (c + offset);

String shiftDouble(Object o, double shift, String suffix)
shift Double

Double d = parseDouble(o);
d = d + shift;
return (String.format("%.1f", d) + suffix);

int shiftHorizontally(int inkX, int inkXWidth, int textWidth)
Returns a shift of 'x' coordinate in pixels in order to fit the logical extent horizontally

if ((inkX < 0) && (inkXWidth <= textWidth)) {
 return inkX;
if ((inkX + inkXWidth > textWidth) && (inkXWidth <= textWidth)) {
 return (inkX + inkXWidth - textWidth);
return 0;
