Java.lang.Long.rotateRight() Method

---

Description

The java.lang.Long.rotateRight() method returns the value obtained by rotating the two's complement binary representation of the specified long value right by the specified number of bits. (Bits shifted out of the right hand, or low-order, side reenter on the left, or high-order.)

Declaration

Following is the declaration for java.lang.Long.rotateRight() method

public static long rotateRight(long i, int distance)

Parameters

• i − This is the long value.

• distance − This is the rotation distance.

Return Value

This method returns the value obtained by rotating the two's complement binary representation of the specified long value right by the specified number of bits.

Exception

NA

Example

The following example shows the usage of java.lang.Long.rotateRight() method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.lang.*;

public class LongDemo {

   public static void main(String[] args) {

      long n = 64;

      // returns the value obtained by rotating right
      for(int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
         n = Long.rotateRight(n, 4);
         System.out.println(n);
      }
   }
}  

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
