Bit wise Right Shift operators (>>)

Bitwise Right Shift operators (>>):

If a=10, calculate a>>2 means 2:

This operator shifts the bits of the number towards right a specified number of positions. The symbol for this operator is >>, read it as double greater than. If we write a>>n, the meaning is to shift the bits of a towards right n positions.

Following diagram shows Shifting bits towards right 2 times:

This Operator shifts the bits of the number towards right a specified number of positions. If we write a>>n , means shift the bits of a towards right n positions.

#Example program on all the Bitwise operators

a=10

b=11

print('~a=',~a) #

print('a&b=',a&b)

print('a|b=',a|b)

print('a^b=',a^b)

print('a<<2=',a<<2)

print('a>>2=',a>>2)

"""output

 ==================

~a= -11

a&b= 10

a|b= 11

a^b= 1

a<<2= 40

a>>2= 2

>>>
