What is the bitwise right shift operator?

August 8th, 2009 by uCertify Leave a reply »

The bitwise right shift operator shifts the bits of its left operand to the right-hand side by using the number of positions specified by its right operand. For each shift operation, the lower-order (rightmost) bit of the left operand is shifted off and discarded, and its leftmost bit position exposed by the right shift is filled in with the previous content of the leftmost bit. The right shift operator is denoted by the symbol >>. It is a binary operator and works with integer primitives only.
