JScript Unsigned Right Shift Operator (>>>)

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

Syntax: JScript Unsigned Right Shift Operator (>>>)

result = expression1 >>> expression2

Arguments: JScript Unsigned Right Shift Operator (>>>)

result

Any variable.

expression1

Any expression.

expression2

Any expression.

Remarks: JScript Unsigned Right Shift Operator (>>>)

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).
