I have a System.Collections.BitArray array (~3000 items) and I would like to shift all the bits to the left by 1. However the collection doesn't seem to support that operation (i.e. bitArray << 1 not working and there is no method). Any idea on how to do that?
Thanks!
This simple snippet shows a manual way to do it. The value of bitArray[0]
is overwritten:
//... bitArray is the BitArray instance
for (int i = 1; i < bitArray.Count; i++)
{
bitArray[i - 1] = bitArray[i];
}
bitArray[bitArray.Count - 1] = false // or true, whatever you want to shift in
Making this an extension method shouldn't be a big deal.
