The output is 16. The left shift operator << shifts the binary representation of 8 one position to the left, effectively multiplying it by 2.

That makes sense. So, the result of 8 << 1 would be 16 because shifting the bits of 8 to the left by 1 position doubles the value.

I think the output is 16 because the << operator in Python is the left shift operator, which shifts the bits of a number to the left by the specified number of positions.
