They are bitwise operators, this link may help. https://www.sololearn.com/learn/4070/?ref=app e. g. 2 << 3 gives 16. 2 = 10 (in binary) then shift to the left by three digit. 10 turns into 10000 16 = 10000 (in binary)

The idea is that it is a very fast way to multiply or divide by 2^k

>> is moving all the bits one place to the right and << is the same, just to the left
