However by using a graphical technique where a folded-and-shifted version of h(k ) canbe moved from left to right, a lot more is learnt about convolution operation. This movementoperation will generate a non-zero output y (n) only when both x(k ) and h(n − k ) have someoverlap. Since the folded-and-shifted version of h(k ) is moved
