Shift Operations

Shift operations have lower precedence than arithmetic operations:

shift_expr ::=  a_expr | shift_expr ("<<" | ">>") a_expr

These operators accept integers as arguments. They shift the first argument left or right by the number of bits specified by the second argument.

A right shift by n bits is defined as an integer floor division by pow(2, n) . A left shift by n bits is defined as a multiplication by pow(2, n) .
