New submission from David Albert Torpey <dt...@users.sourceforge.net>:
I would like to left and right shift floats as a fast way to multiply or divide by a power of 2 without rounding error. The only way to do that now is t=frexp(x) and y=ldexp(t[0],t[1]+2). But would be better to type y=x<<2. Thank you. ---------- messages: 134897 nosy: dtorp priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Left shift and Right shift for floats versions: Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11967> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
