Bitwise Left-Shift is useful when to want to MULTIPLY an integer (not floating point numbers) by a power of 2.

This expression returns the value of a multiplied by 2 to the power of b.

Bitwise Right-Shift does the opposite, and takes away bits on the right.
Expression: a >> b
This expression returns the value of a divided by 2 to the power of b.
