Operators 135
This is because -1 decimal is 11111111111111111111111111111111 binary (thirty-two 1s),
and when you shift right (unsigned) by 1 bit, the least significant (rightmost) bit is discarded,
and the most significant (leftmost) bit is filled with a 0. The result is
01111111111111111111111111111111 binary, which represents the 32-bit integer
2147483647.

>>>= bitwise unsigned right shift and assignment
operator
expression1 >>>= expression2
Performs an unsigned bitwise right-shift operation and stores the contents as a result in
expression1
. The following two statements are equivalent:
A >>>= B; and A = (A >>> B);

- A number or expression to be shifted right.
expression2 : Number
- A number or expression that converts to an integer from 0 to 31.
Returns
Number
- The result of the bitwise operation.
