Java Shift operators
Shift operator works on bits and performs shift operation to move bits on either leftwards or rightwards. Assume if a = 60 and b = 13; now in binary format they will be as follows −
| Operator |
Description |
Example |
| << (left shift) |
Binary Left Shift Operator. The left operands value is moved left by the number of bits specified by the right operand. |
A << 2 will give 240 which is 1111 0000 |
| >> (right shift) |
Binary Right Shift Operator. The left operands value is moved right by the number of bits specified by the right operand. |
A >> 2 will give 15 which is 1111 |
| >>> (zero fill right shift) |
Shift right zero fill operator. The left operands value is moved right by the number of bits specified by the right operand and shifted values are filled up with zeros. |
A >>>2 will give 15 which is 0000 111 |
