"bitshift" in MathScript generates unexpected results for certain

[captainjin]

The "bitshift" is used to perform a bitwise shift on the input elements.

When the input is 0, the results always return the value of 2^n, no matter what the shift size n is.

e.g., bitshift(0, 4)=16 (10000)

bitshift(0, 8)=256 (100000000)

the behavior is same as the result for 1:

bitshift(1, 4)=16 (10000)

Hi captainjin,

According to the MathScript help, the first input to bitshift must be a scalar, vector, or matrix of positive integers, so the results when you input zero are technically undefined. But this seems like a silly limitation, so we've reported this to LabVIEW R&D as a bug (CAR# 53118).

Thanks,
