The function multiplies x and y using the Shift and Add algorithm. There is another algorithm, which goes by a few different names, that reduces to the Shift and Add algorithm. You may know it as Binary Multiplication, Egyptian Multiplication, or (Russian) Peasant Multiplication. This is an excellent idea for a programming puzzle!
