7.4.9 Bitwise Left Shift Operator (<<)

Used to shift the bits of an expression to the left.
Syntax
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 as 14 (00001110 in binary) shifted left two bits equals 56 (00111000 in binary).
For information on when a run-time error is generated by the << operator, see the Operator Behavior table.
