what is 101 in 8 bit binary left shifted by 2?

Sorry i just want to make sure i’m correct. 101 left shifted by 2 is 10100 Thus 01010000 because its 8 bit?

101 left shiftet by 2 is 20 in decimal. So it is 00010100. Everytime you shift left it is the same as doubeling the decimal value by two.

And as for right shift For example 101 in 8 bit binary right shifted by 2 would be 00000001 ?

What about 101111101101 in 8 bit binary right shifted by 2? Would it be 1011111011 But would i limit to 8 bit by removing extra bit from the right side? Al 11011111110?

The answers should always be binary. So the final answer is 11101101? It’s the same as left shift. You limit to 8 bit binary by removing extra bit at the left?

The problem is that the result is bigger than a 8 bit number. If you foce it into an 8 bit number it depends on the language you are using. As far as i know it would cut the leftmost numbers.
