Performs a bit shifting operation.
BitShift ( value, shift )
Parameters
| value | The first number to operate on. |
| shift | Number of bits to shift to the right (negative numbers shift left). |
Return Value
Returns the value shifted by the required number of bits.
Remarks
Remember hex notation can be used for numbers.

Example
$x = BitShift(14, 2)
; x == 3 because 1110b right-shifted twice is 11b == 3
$y = BitShift(14, -2)
; y == 48 because 1110b left-shifted twice is 111000b == 56
$z = BitShift( 1, -31)
; z == -2147483648 because in 2's-complement notation, the
; 32nd digit from the right has a negative sign.
