Description |
 |
Both operands must be of integral type. The integral promotions
are performed on both operands. The type of the result is the type
of the promoted left operand.
The left shift operator <<
shifts the first operand to the left and zero fills the result on
the right. The right shift operator >>
shifts the first operand to the right. If the type of the left operand
is an unsigned type, the
>> operator zero fills the result on the left. If the type of the
left operand is a signed type, copies of the sign bit are shifted
into the left bits of the result (sometimes called sign
extend).
