What does the line that has the overload operator do?

m_nPaletteEntries = 1 << m_pBIH->biBitCount;

m_nPaletteEntries = pow(2, m_pBIH->biBitCount); // 2 to the power of bpp

Would you mind helping me further? I loaded the bitmap, however when I check the values from the array into which the bitmap is loaded they show up as 0 (null).
