C++ anomaly (maybe)

[M.J.Shannon,Jr.]

The anomaly you describe (`1<<31') is not anomalous because the
interpretation of each operator is dependent on the types of its
arguments.  Further, the use of `<<' for input and `>>' for output are
not a part of the C++ language, but are part of a (the) subroutine
library which requires a header file to be included (to define the
overloading of the operators `<<' and `>>').  Thus, no anomaly.
