A programmer is writing a low-level driver for a microcontroller. To align a set of sensor readings, an 8-bit register containing the binary value 00001101 is modified by a single logical binary shift, resulting in the binary value 01101000.
Identify the direction and the number of places of the binary shift that has been applied.
