The two basic types are the arithmetic left shift and the arithmetic right shift. For binary numbers it is a bitwise operation that shifts all of the bits of its operand; every bit in the operand is simply moved a given number of bit positions, and the vacant bit-positions are filled in.
Left arithmetic shift Right arithmetic shift. In an arithmetic shift, the bits that are shifted out of either end are discarded. In a left arithmetic shift, zeros are shifted in on the right; in a right arithmetic shift, the sign bit (the MSB in two's complement) is shifted in on the left, thus preserving the sign of the operand.
Arithmetically shift the value obtained in the 2nd step by a single place to the right. Let P now equal this new value. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until they have been done y times. Drop the least significant (rightmost) bit from P. This is the product of m and r.
ALU shift operations cause operand A (or B) to shift left or right (depending on the opcode) and the shifted operand appears at Y. Simple ALUs typically can shift the operand by only one bit position, whereas more complex ALUs employ barrel shifters that allow them to shift the operand by an arbitrary number of bits in one operation. In all ...
Logical right shift differs from arithmetic right shift. Thus, many languages have different operators for them. For example, in Java and JavaScript, the logical right shift operator is >>>, but the arithmetic right shift operator is >>. (Java has only one left shift operator (<<), because left shift via logic and arithmetic have the same effect.)
Right shift can be used to divide a bit pattern by 2 as shown: i = 14 ; // Bit pattern 00001110 j = i >> 1 ; // here we have the bit pattern shifted by 1 thus we get 00000111 = 7 which is 14/2 Right shift operator usage
Right shift may refer to: Logical right shift, a computer operation; Arithmetic right shift, a computer operation; Right Shift key, a key on a computer keyboard; Rightshiting (cultural change), changing mindsets away from overly analytical to more synergistic (also known as the Marshall Model)
