Answer 1

• Multiply by a power of 2
x = x << 1; // x = x * 2
x = x << 6; // x = x * 64

• Divide by a power of 2
x = x >> 1; // x = x / 2
x = x >> 3; // x = x / 8

Answer 2

It's a Bitwise Right Shift.
Essentially, you are dividing 3 by 4, and that's why the output is 0, because you are dealing with integers.
Try x=12 and the output will be 3.
