ee.Number.rightShift

  • The Number.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.
