Problem:

Bitwise Class Activity

• Write a program that will ask the user for
an unsigned integer.
• Then ask the user whether they want to
shift right or left.
• Then ask them how many bits to shift it.
• After getting all the values perform the
bitwise operation.
• Print out the resulting integer value in
decimal.
• No get opt is needed.
• Use integer value 8, use left shift, use 2
bits for how many.

 Solution:
#include <stdio.h>
 
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
char buffer[50];
unsigned val;
char dir;
int amount;
int result;
printf("Please enter an unsigned integer: ");
//Read in string
fgets(buffer, sizeof(buffer) - 1, stdin);
//Get int from string
sscanf(buffer, "%u", &val);
printf("Shift left or right? (L or R): ");
//Read in string
fgets(buffer, sizeof(buffer) - 1, stdin);
//Get char from string
sscanf(buffer, "%c", &dir);
printf("How many bits to shift: ");
//Read in string
