Unsigned Right Shift Operator (>>>) (JScript 5.6) 

  • Article

Right shifts the bits of an expression, without maintaining sign.


result = expression1 >>> expression2

Arguments

  • result
    Any variable.
  • expression1
    Any expression.
  • expression2
    Any expression.

Remarks

The >>> operator shifts the bits of expression1 right by the number of bits specified in expression2. Zeroes are filled in from the left. Digits shifted off the right are discarded. For example:

var temp

temp = -14 >>> 2

The variable temp has a value of 1073741820 as -14 (11111111 11111111 11111111 11110010 in binary) shifted right two bits equals 1073741820 (00111111 11111111 11111111 11111100 in binary).
