lhs shl= rhs

lhs
rhs

This operator shifts the bits in its left-hand side (lhs) parameter a number of times specified by its right-hand side (rhs) parameter, and assigns the result to lhs. It is functionally equivalent to:

lhs = lhs Shl rhs

This operator can be overloaded for user-defined types.

Dim i As Integer
i = &b00000011   '' = 3
i Shl= 3         '' = i*2^3
'' Result: 11000          24            24
Print Bin(i), i, 3*2^3
Sleep
