ee.Number.rightShift

  • TheNumber.rightShift(right) method calculates the signed right shift of a number (left) by a specified number of bits (right).

  • It takes two arguments, the left-hand value (this: left) and the right-hand value (right), both of which are Numbers.

  • The method returns a Number, representing the result of the signed right shift operation.

 Calculates the signed right shift of v1 by v2 bits.

UsageReturns
Number.rightShift(right)Number
ArgumentTypeDetails
this:leftNumberThe left-hand value.
rightNumberThe right-hand value.

Examples

Code Editor (JavaScript)

/** * Unsigned 8-bit type example. * * 20 as binary:   00010100 * Right shift 2:  00000101 * * 00000101 is binary for 5. */print(ee.Number(20).rightShift(2));// 5
