Why does 3,758,096,384 << 1 give 768

Question

After reading the great answer for Absolute Beginner\'s Guide to Bit Shifting? I tested the claim (sic):

3,758,096,384 << 1

from Chrome

Answer 1

That's the comma operator at work. It's actually 384 << 1. (The comma operator evaluates its left hand side, then evaluates its right hand side, and returns the right hand side.)
