i32.shl is an atomic WebAssembly lesson inside Advanced Numeric. The example uses the specific syntax, command, API, instruction, or language rule named by this lesson.

Study the construct itself, then change one relevant input and predict the result before running it. That keeps this lesson focused on i32.shl rather than on generic WebAssembly syntax.
