Keywords: 	  Shift Operators

Question:

Does any one have an example of the correct use of >> and << operators? I have not found any doing searches on the various help files.

Answer:

Well you have to understand the binary representation of numbers.

Basically each shift left for small numbers will multiply it by 2, and a shift right will divide it by 2.

a = 6
b = 3 
; this is a times 2x2x2
c= 6 << b
Message("Result is",c)
