Bitwise Left Shift Operator (<<) (Windows Scripting - JScript)

  • Article

 

Left shifts the bits of an expression.

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 because 14 (00001110 in binary) shifted left two bits equals 56 (00111000 in binary).
