The left shift assignment (<<=
) operator performs left shift on the two operands and assigns the result to the left operand.
let a = 5; // 00000000000000000000000000000101
a <<= 2; // 00000000000000000000000000010100
console.log(a);
// Expected output: 20
Syntax Description
x <<= y
is equivalent to x = x << y
, except that the expression x
is only evaluated once.
let a = 5;
// 00000000000000000000000000000101
a <<= 2; // 20
// 00000000000000000000000000010100
let b = 5n;
