Java Shift operators

Java Programming Java8Java Technologies Object Oriented Programming

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
