(1<<h) Starts with 2 to the zeroth power, a binary 1, Shifts the number to the left by h binary bits, e.g 00000001 in binary left shift 1 becomes 00000010, left shift 2 becomes 00000100.
Left-shifting a binary number by 1 bit position multiplies that number by 2. Left-shifting by 2 multiplies by 2^2. Left-shifting by 3 multiplies by 2^3, etc.

what does this line(result += (1<< h) * b) do? what is the role of << operator?
a += b; is the same as a = a + b;

thankyou..
nice idea with the binary shift!
<< is the bitwise left shift operator.
1 << h takes the bits in 1 and shifts them with h positions to the left.
1 << 0 == 1 1 << 1 == 2 1 << 2 == 4
