Here is the expression

int m = -3;
m = m >>> 32;

What will be the value of m and why... please explain your answer.
Thanks

Hi Shashank!
Did you try to compile and run this piece of code?
If yes, what do you think?

The value of m should still be -3. Bit shifting an int by 32 to the right is the same as not doing anything to it at all.
The general rule is: bit shifting an int by x times is equivalent to bit shifting by x % 32 (modulo 32).
