i suspect this is a rather simple question to some of you, however i'm a self-taught guy and have no clue what the thing below is all about. So i'm sorry if this is regarded as a stupid question :) (may it be a duplicate or simply a question unfit for this community)
i was looking for a clean way to display filesize in a human readable format and i stumbled upon this answer:
the thing is, i've never seen that syntax of 1<<30
being used before.
i've tried to google on the subject, but i simply do not know how to 'search' for it.. no clue how the syntax is called.
I'm not really looking for a full blown reply explaining every detail. I'll do the research myself :-) however i'd greatly appreciate anyone pointing me in the right direction.
thanks
