Operator Shr= (Shift Right And Assign)

Shifts right and assigns a value to a variable

Syntax

Declare Operator Shr= ( ByRef lhs As Integer, ByRef rhs As Integer )
Declare Operator Shr= ( ByRef lhs As UInteger, ByRef rhs As UInteger )
Declare Operator Shr= ( ByRef lhs As LongInt, ByRef rhs As LongInt )
Declare Operator Shr= ( ByRef lhs As ULongInt, ByRef rhs As ULongInt )

Parameters

• lhs
• rhs
• lhs

Description

This operator shifts the bits in its left-hand side (lhs) parameter a number of times specified by its right-hand side (rhs) parameter, and assigns the result to lhs. It is functionally equivalent to:

lhs = lhs Shr rhs

This operator can be overloaded for user-defined types as a member Operator using the appropriate syntax.

Note: Similarly to the operator '=[>]' (assign), the alternative symbol 'Shr=>' can be also used.

Remarks

Usage

lhs shr= rhs

Examples

Dim i As Integer

i = &b00011000   '' = 24

i Shr= 3         '' = i\2^3

'' Result: 11          3            3

Print Bin(i), i, 24\2^3
