JQPlus ---shift operator

[Ash sav]

Whether it's true or false
value returned by >>> will never be negative
Answer is false and they give following explantion.
for RHS of 32, no shifting will be done and same(if-ve then -ve and if +ve then +ve)
Can somebody explain me what is mean by RHS of 32 by giving an example. Is this related to int widht?
Thanks in advance

Hi Ash,
The width of an Integer is 4 Bytes i.e. 32 Bits. So it
can be shifted logically 32 times.
If shift is by 33 then the actual shift occurs 33%32 times
i.e. once only. Now 32%32=0 so No shift
when you try to an int by 32!
Also a long can be shifted 64%x times.
