Summary 📝

• Left shift: each position shifted left multiplies the value by 2. Example: 110 becomes 1100 (6 → 12), then 11000 (12 → 24).
  
  

• Right shift: shifting right divides the number by 2, discarding the right‑most bit and adding a 0 at the left. Example: 110 becomes 11 (6 → 3).
  
  

• Discarding fractions: right shifts may round down because binary cannot store fractions. For instance, shifting 11 (3) gives 1 (not 1.5).
  
  

• Binary Shifting as a quick way to multiply or divide by powers of two.
