Description
Used to shift the bits of an expression to the left.
Syntax
result <<= expression

The <<= operator syntax has these parts:

Part Description
result Any variable.
expression Any expression.

Remarks
Using the <<= 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 because 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.
