Bit Shift Up

Bit shift up is a binary operation that moves the bits of a binary number to the left by a specified number of positions, effectively multiplying the number by a power of two.

Bit Shift Down

A binary operation that moves bits to a lower position, effectively dividing the number by two for each shift.
