Do anybody know why the below program produce the result as shown ??
Why int and short reproduce itself shifting for 32 bits ?
Why long reproduce itself shifting for 64 bits ?
Thx.
class shiftTest{
public static void main(String[] args){
int a = 30;
short b = 30;
long c = 30;
for(int i=0;i<=70;i++){
System.out.println(i+" - "+(a>>>i)+" - "+(b>>>i)+" - "+(c>>>i));
}
}
}
Result:
0 - 30 - 30 - 30
1 - 15 - 15 - 15
2 - 7 - 7 - 7
3 - 3 - 3 - 3

The right hand argument of a shift operator is always taken modulo the number of bits (32 or 64) in the lefthand operand. Notice too that the short (16 bit) lefthand argument is promoted to an int (32-bit).

Oh, sure, you could do that. Or you could eat some pie. While reading this tiny ad:
