Shifiting all elements of a string

[etudiant]

Hi,
I'm trying to shift all elements of a string to the left (so the first letter is cut off) one-by-one until the end of the string

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
int main(){
    char string1[32] = "This is a string", string2[32], string3[32], string4[32];
    int i, j, k;
    
    for(i = 0; i < 32; i++){
     string2[k] = string1[0];
     string1 << 1;
     printf("%c", string2[k]);
    }
}

This is what I have so far but I get an error when compiling the program that says this:
stringmaniptest.c: In function ‘main’:
stringmaniptest.c:9:14: error: invalid operands to binary << (have ‘char *’ and ‘int’)
string1 << 1;
^
Would anyone be able to advise me on how to fix this?
Thanks

The simplest way to do this is probably to use a pointer to point to the second element instead of actually shifting, e.g.,

#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    char original_string[] = "hello world!";
    char *shifted_string = original_string + 1;
    printf("%s -> %s\n", original_string, shifted_string);
    return 0;
}
