expression <<
expression
Each expression yields an integer
.
The <<
operator shifts a given value a specified number of bits to the left.
The expression x
is equivalent to <<
yx*2^y
when x and y are integers and the result is in the range of the integer
data type.
In OpenXION, since the integer
data type has arbitrary range, no bits will ever be lost, and the value will never change sign.
