Bit Shift Calculator Bitshift Calculator Bitshift Calculator Integer Shift Amount Select Bitshift Operation Left Shift (<<) Right Shift (>>) Calculate Understanding Bitshift Operations Bitshift operations are used to move the bits of a binary number to the left or right, which effectively multiplies or divides the number by powers of two. Operations: Left Shift (`<<`): Moves bits to the left by the specified amount. Adds zeros on the right. Example: `5 << 1` is `10` (binary: `0101 << 1 = 1010`). Right Shift (`>>`): Moves bits to the right by the specified amount. Discards bits shifted off. Example: `5 >> 1` is `2` (binary: `0101 >> 1 = 0010`).
