elect the correct answerIn C, what is the result of the expression 2 << 2?Options24816

The result of the expression 2 << 2 in C is 8.

Here's the step by step explanation:

The << operator in C is the left shift operator. It shifts the bits of the number to the left and fills 0 on voids left as a result. The left operand specifies the value to be shifted and the right operand specifies the number of positions that the bits should be shifted.

So, 2 << 2 means the bits of 2 are shifted to the left by 2 positions.

2 in binary is 0010. When we shift the bits 2 positions to the left, we get 1000, which is 8 in decimal.

So, 2 << 2 equals 8.
