<< — Bitshift left operator.

## Description

The bitshift operators shift the bits to the left or to the right the number of bits given.

The priority of these operators is less binding that the arithmetic ones, but more binding that the comparisons.

Parentheses may be used as above to force particular groupings.

## Syntax

    a << b  (bitshift left)

where the arguments a and b may be further expressions.

## Examples

Here is an example of the bitshift left operator. It uses the file bitshift.csd.

Example 37. Example of the bitshift left operator.

See the sections Real-time Audio and Command Line Flags for more information on using command line flags.
