Hello,
In the section of Bit manipulation left shiift is used extensively. My simple question is that there it is interpreted for two different tasks mentioned below
i = 4
int mask = i << 4;
// Binary output: 1000
i=4
int mask = i << 4;
// Binary output: 1111
How the same operation can give two different output. Can you please give the difference between both.
Hello @haardpatel07,
Binary output for i<<4 will be 1000000, as for 4 it is 100 and when it shifts 100 4 places left so it will be 1000000. And it will be same everytime.
