The "<<" operator has different meanings in different contexts. It's used as the "insert" operator for cout: cout << "hello"; But it's also used as the "bitwise left shift" operator: integer x = 1; x = x << 3; // 1 becomes 8 because the bits have been shifted 3 times left.

It's the operator to send something to a stream object.
