The shift left operation is similar to multiplication by powers of two. This can also be achieved with repetitive addition, thus, the process can be done recursively.

Sample calculation using the shift left operator <<:

10 << 3 = 10 * 2^3 = 10 * 8 = 80
-32 << 2 = -32 * 2^2 = -32 * 4 = -128
5 << 2 = 5 * 2^2 = 5 * 4 = 20

Create a recursive function that mimics the shift left operator and returns the result from the two given integers.

Examples

shift_left(5, 2) ➞ 20

shift_left(10, 3) ➞ 80

shift_left(-32, 2) ➞ -128

shift_left(-6, 5) ➞ -192

shift_left(12, 4) ➞ 192

shift_left(46, 6) ➞ 2944

Notes

• There will be no negative values for the second parameter y.
• You're expected to solve this challenge using a recursive approach.
• You can read on more topics about recursion (see Resources tab) if you aren't familiar with it yet or haven't fully understood the concept behind it before taking up this challenge.
