Multiplication and Division by 2 without using "*" or "/" operators in Java

Here is a simple way in Java to do a multiplication and division of a number by 2 with using arithmetic operators.

The trick is to use bitwise operator.
Here is a Java Code

Class Shimpu{
public static void main(String args[]){
int n = 2;
System.out.println("Multiplication by 2 " + n << 1);
n = 2;
System.out.println("Division by 2 " + n >> 1);

}
}
