This code performs a left bitwise shift operation. Specifically:
1
is the integer literal with a binary representation of0000...0001
(depending on the bit-width of the system).Layers.Terrain
is expected to be an integer value, typically representing a specific layer index.
The expression 1 << Layers.Terrain
means the binary representation of 1
is shifted to the left by the value of Layers.Terrain
positions. For example:
- If
Layers.Terrain
is0
, the result is1 << 0
→1
(binary:0000...0001
). - If
Layers.Terrain
is2
, the result is1 << 2
→4
(binary:0000...0100
). - If
Layers.Terrain
is5
, the result is1 << 5
→32
(binary:0010...0000
).
This operation is often used to set a specific bit in a binary number, commonly in contexts like working with bitmasks (e.g., marking certain layers or flags active). In this case, the resulting value enables the layer corresponding to Layers.Terrain
in a bitmask.
