bitwise calculation

[liqiang yang]

Can anybody figure this out?

int a = -8;
int b = ~ -33;
a>>>=b;
System.out.println(a);

[Patricia Samuel]

Output will be -8.

a=-8;
b =~-33
means ~x= -x-1 sot ~-33 will be -(-33)-1 = 32;

a>>>=b -8>>>=32
since we are operating on int 32 (32%32 = 0) hence -8>>>=0

-8/2 raise 0
-8/1 = -8

Please make me correct if i am wrong.

Thanks

one more thing since operator >>> then output must be positive .

so it will be 8 instead of -8.

Thanks Patricia! You did a great job.

I put the piece of code in the program and print the result is -8.

Can we expect topics on bitwise operators in the exam?
