Bitwise Left Shift Operator (<<) (JScript 5.6) 

  • Article

Left shifts the bits of an expression.


result = expression1 << expression2

Arguments

  • result
    Any variable.
  • expression1
    Any expression.
  • expression2
    Any expression.

Remarks

The << operator shifts the bits of expression1 left by the number of bits specified in expression2. For example:

var temp

temp = 14 << 2

The variable temp has a value of 56 because 14 (00001110 in binary) shifted left two bits equals 56 (00111000 in binary).
