using the windows calculator:number 10 in binary is 1010say you right shift it by one bit you get:0101 which is 5if you left shift by one bit you get10100 which is 20any clearer?so basicaly this is the fastest way of division or multiplication by 2  Go with the flow & have fun! Else fight the flow  |

As a side note be careful when shifting because of data size.For instance, because types have a max / min size then shifts and the results can become the same:int i;i = 100;i << 1;printf("%d", i);i << 33;printf("%d", i);both yield same results
