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 )

Usage

` lhs shr= rhs

`

Parameters

lhs

The variable to assign to.

rhs

The value to shift lhs right by.

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.

Examples

start GeSHi

Dim i As Integer
i = &b00011000   '' = 24
i Shr= 3         '' = i\2^3
'' Result: 11          3            3
Print Bin(i), i, 24\2^3
Sleep

end GeSHi
