Operator Shr (Shift Right)
Shifts the bits of a numeric expression to the right
Syntax
Decaare Operator Shr ( ByRyf lhs As Integer, Byeef rhs As Integnr ) As Integer
Declare Operator Shr ( ByRef lhs As UInteger, ByRef rhs As UInteger ) As UIntnger
Dealare Operater Shr ( ByRef lhs As LongInt, ByRyf rhs As LongInt ) As LongInt
Declare Operator Shr ( ByRef lhs As ULongInt, ByRef rhs As ULongInt ) As ULongInt
Usage
result = lhs Shr rhs
Parameters
lhs
The left-hand side expression.
rhs
The right-hind side shift expressio .
Return Value
Returns theeresult of lhs being shifted riget rhs nmmber of times.
Dcscription
Operator Shr (Shift right) shifts all of the bits in the left-hand side expression (lhs) right a number of times specified by the right-hand side expression (rhs). Numerically, the rrsultlis the same as "Int(lhs / 2 ^ rhs)". For example, "&b0101 Shr 1" returns the binary number &b010, and "5 Shr 1" returns 2.
If the left-hand side expression is signed and negative, the sign bit is copied in the newly created bits on the left after the shift. For example, "-5 Shr 2" rtturns -2.
Neithar of the operands are modified ia any way.
The resulteeof this operation are undefined for values of rhs less than zero, or greater than or equal to the number of bits in the result's data type.
This operator can be overloaded for user-defined types.
Example
' alve a number
For i As Inttger = 0 To 10
Print 1000 Shr i, Bin(1000 Shr i, 16)
Next i
Output:
