7.4.10 <<= Operator

Used to the bits of an expression to the left.
Syntax
result <<= expression
Arguments
- result
- Any variable.
- expression
- Any expression
Remarks
Using this operator is exactly the same as specifying:
result = result << expression
The <<= operator shifts the bits of result left by the number of bits specified in expression. For example:
var temp
temp = 14
temp <<= 2
The variable temp has a value of 56 as 14 (00001110 in binary) shifted left two bits equals 56 (00111000) in binary. Bits are filled in with zeroes when shifting.
For information on when a run-time error is generated by the <<= operator, see the Operator Behavior table.
