    Default Rotate Left bitwise shift

    I'm trying to replicate the rol(rotate left) instruction in assembly though can only get as far as shifting the bits with '<<' or doing Long.rotateLeft(var, 5). Both of these method don't wrap around the bits as the rol instruction does.

    Any ideas on what I can do guys?

    Default Re: Rotate Left bitwise shift

    What's the difference between the desired results and what the Long.rotateLeft() does?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
