Syntax

int = ShiftRight(integer int1, integer shift)

 

Argument Contents

shift Number of bits to shift right, from 1 to 32; a negative value will shift left

 

Returns

An integer with an arithmetic shift of the bits the specified number of places to the right.

int = ShiftRight(15, 1) // int = 7: in binary, 1111 becomes 111

int = ShiftRight(-1, 1) // int = -1: any shift will result in -1
