JScript >>>= Operator (JScript >>>'equals' Operator)

JScript >>>= Operator

Used to make an unsigned right shift of the bits in a variable.

Syntax: JScript >>>= Operator

result >>>= expression

Arguments: JScript >>>= Operator

result

Any variable.

expression

Any expression

Remarks: JScript >>>= Operator

Using this operator is exactly the same as specifying:

result = result >>> expression

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

var temp

temp = -14

temp >>>= 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).
