Example of Right Shift (>>) Operator in C program

/* C Program to demonstrate example right shift (>>) operator.*/

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{

    unsigned int num = 0xff;

    printf("\nValue of num = %04X before right shift.", num);

    /*shifting 2 bytes right*/
    num = (num >> 2);
    printf("\nValue of num = %04X after right shift.", num);

    return 0;
}
    Value of num = 00FF before right shift.
    Value of num = 003F after right shift.

Right Shift Operator (>>) is a bitwise operator, which perform operation on bits. It is used to shift given number of bytes in the right and inserts 0’s in the left.

Binary of 0xFF in (in 4 bytes format) - 0000 0000 1111 1111.

After 2 bytes right shift (in 4 bytes format) – 0000 0000 0011 1111, which is equivalent of 0x003F.
