What is the difference between << (left shift) and >> (right shift) operators ?

Question :

What is the difference between << (left shift) and >> (right shift) operators ?

<< (left shift) Shift the bits of the number to the left by the number of bits specified. (Each number is represented in memory by bits or binary digits, i.e., 0 and 1)

For example, 2 << 2 gives 8.2 is represented by 10 in bits.

Left shifting by 2 bits gives 1000 which represents the decimal 8.

>> ( right shift) Shift the bits of the number to the right by the number of bits specified.
For example, 11 >> 1 gives 5.
11 is represented in bits by 1011, which when right shifted by 1 bit gives 101 which is the decimal 5.
