/*
 * The << operator shifts the bits of an integer a certan amount of steps to the left
 * So a << n means shifting the bits of a to the left n times
*/
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
   int a = 10;  // 00001010 in binary
   int n = 2;

   printf("Result : %d\n", a << n);
   // Result is 40 which is OO101000 in binary

   return 0;
}

// This also means that a << n is an equivalent to a * 2^n
