Frequently asked questions
Is my data uploaded?+
No. This tool is designed to run locally in your browser.
Do I need an account?+
No signup is required for CodeVella tools.
What does left shift do?+
A left shift moves bits to the left and usually multiplies an integer by powers of two, within JavaScript 32-bit integer behavior.
Why can bit shift results look unexpected?+
JavaScript bitwise operations use signed 32-bit integers, so very large values or sign bits can produce surprising results.
