Unsigned Right Shift Operator (>>>) (Windows Scripting - JScript)

  • Article

 

Right shifts the bits of an expression, without maintaining sign.

Syntax

result = expression1 >>> expression2

Arguments

  • result
    Any variable.

  • expression1
    Any expression.

  • expression2
    Any expression.

Remarks

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 an initial value -14 (11111111 11111111 11111111 11110010 in two's complement binary). When it is shifted right two bits, the value equals 1073741820 (00111111 11111111 11111111 11111100 in binary).
