what does this << mean?
Looking at an example of drawing rounded rectangles, I see this:
Code:
int d = raius << 1;
What does this do? I know it is a shift operator, but what is this doing?

Re: what does this << mean?
Pefroming a shift to the left by one bit. It is basic binary methamatics and is equivilant to a *2 when applied to an integral type (but often faster - althought the compiler may internally optimize a *2 into a <<1)

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; in practice there is.
