What is the bitwise left shift operator?

August 8th, 2009 by uCertify Leave a reply »

The bitwise left shift operator shifts the bits of its left operand to the left side by using the number of positions specified by its right operand. For each shift operation, a zero bit is pushed into the lower-order (rightmost) bit position, and the higher-order (leftmost) bit is pushed out (or discarded). The left shift operator is denoted by the symbol <<. It is a binary operator and works with integer primitives only.
