Answer 2

it's a right shift operator inside your print statement

you are shifting each bit of number 8 by 1 in the right direction

for example

8 = 0000-1000 in binary

// - dash will not be here

after shifting each bit in the right direction by one place

we wiill get

0000-0100 // omit the dash (-)

in binary 4 = 00000100

that's why the final answer is 4
