LSL and LSR instructions

Hi all ,

I need some explanations for the code highlighted below.I got this code from the disassembled window.
Here temp is declared as unsigned short and onech is declared as unsigned Char.
I would like to know why the compiler is doing the LSL and LSR operations here in this part of the code ,though there is only one LSL I have specified in the code .(ie. (temp^onech) << 8.)

Looking for help.
