Binary Logical Shifts

Covering the concept of logical shifts performed on binary numbers (left and right shifts) and the potential to lead to overflow errors.

Thank you so much! I have an exam tomorrow and i was afraid i might never understand that.

There is a question which says
State one effect this logical shift has on the binary value.
Please answer this as I don’t get it

im slightly confused when you said the right logical shift is MOD division. isn't is DIV division as its returning the whole number and not the remainder e.g 15 DIV 2 would return 7

the tutor was nise but I'm not clear because of your speed

I'm a bit confused, is the steps really important for the binary shift at the end or do you get marks for writing the steps for example in this case writing the steps for three? (this question is for the question at the end of the video)

Hello sir,

Can you do a proper playlist for Computer Science P3 summarised theory videos ?

[abdulraafey]

Does the overflow error also occur in right logical shift? or is it just for the left one?

[mehekalam]

Isn't right shift multiply, and left shift divide, so I don't get what u said

[elizas]

So if you do a binary shift by 2 you are doing it by 8?

[Tempri]

What would be the reason for doing this? Just as a way of multiplying and dividing or does it go further than that?

[vivian]

Is logical shift and binary shift the same thing?

Hi There: Could you explain why 1101 is 13 in base 10 ? Thanks for this amazing video!

lmao bestie i thought he was speaking french in the beggening

[MsMrsGirly]

how much marks would this be worth in the exam?exam tomorrow YIKES!

Shifting bits appears here to assume a big-endian system. But the thing is, computer registers, memory addresses, and processors are LITTLE-endian!
