It seems in J I cannot use the bitshift operator
shift =: 33 b.
on integers larger than 32 bit unsigned integers (i.e. 2^31).
e.g. 1 shift (<: 2^31) has a result
but
1 shift 2^31
gives a domain error.
Is there anyway to perform bitshifting operations on large (extended ?)
integers in J?
One possible, although I suppose slow, way is to truncate the binary
representation of the integer
(i.e. after using #:) and append zeros on the end.
