This compliant solution eliminates the possibility of undefined behavior resulting from a left shift operation on integers, it also uses unsigned integers in accordance with INT13-A. Use bitwise operators only on unsigned operands. Smaller sized integers are promoted according to the integer promotion rules (see INT02-AC. Understand integer conversion rules).
