Bitwise right shift: >>, shr

Bit shift to the right as many time shifts the input number to the right as many as the value of the second input. output bits will be lost and the input bits will be 0. bit shift to the right can be used to divide the power of 2. example 256 divided by 2 on the third: 256 we shift to the right three times and the result is 32.

>>

Description

par1 >> par2

Used keywords: >>

Input

Examples

Example

Bitwise right shift the possible of use:

x = 8 >> 1;        // x = 4
y = 0xff >> 4;     // y = 15
z = (x >> 2) >> 2; // z = 0

Example

Even one example in what situations we can use the operation bitwise right shift:

i >> 2
2 >> i
32 >> (0xA >> 2) >> 1

Example

Other pieces of example codes:

(32 >>2)

2 >> 2

shr

Description

Examples

Object Pascal

Bitwise right shift the possible of use:

x := 8 shr 1;        // x = 4
y := $ff shr 4;     // y = 15
z := (x shr 2) shr 2; // z = 0

Object Pascal

Even one example in what situations we can use the operation bitwise right shift:

i shr 2
2 shr i
32 shr ($A shr 2) shr 1

Other pieces of example codes:

(32 shr 2)

2 shr 2
