Bit Shift Operations

Learning Objective: Understand left shift (<<) and right shift (>>) operators

Overview

Use bit shift operators to efficiently multiply or divide by powers of 2.

Specifications

• Initialize variable value with 8
• Output the result of shifting left by 2 bits (8 * 4 = 32)
• Output the result of shifting the original value right by 1 bit (8 / 2 = 4)

Output Format

Left shift: 32
Right shift: 4
