Bitwise Left Shift Operator (<<)
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).
