bits left shift - example 1
Input bits:
Decimal:
Carry:
Decimal:
Left shift is performed by moving all the bits one place to the left and filling 0 in the last place, most left bit is lost or moved to the next higher level.
For example, the byte 10011001 after left shift will be: 00110010
If we take into account the most left bit, the left shift operation is equivalent to multiplying the number by 2. For example the byte 00001110 equals 14 decimal, after left shift we get 00011100 which is equal to 28.
