Write Java program to demonstrate the example of the right shift (>>) operator

This is a Java program that demonstrates the right shift operator.

The program first declares an integer variable num and initializes it to the value 0xff (which is equivalent to 255 in decimal or 11111111 in binary).
It then uses the right shift operator (>>) to shift the bits of num three places to the right. This means that the value of num is divided by 2^3 (which is 8), and any remainders are discarded.
The result of the right shift operation is stored back in num.
Finally, the program outputs the value of num before and after the right shift using the printf method.

Note that the right shift operator can be used to perform division by a power of 2, which is faster than using the division operator (/) when working with large numbers. However, it should be used with caution as it can also lead to unexpected results when used with negative numbers.

Source Code

import java.util.Scanner;
public class RightShift_Operator
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		int num = 0xff;
		System.out.printf("Number before right shift: %04X\n", num);	
		num = (num >> 3);//shifting 3 bits right
		System.out.printf("Number after right shift: %04X\n", num);
	}
}

Output

Number before right shift: 00FF
Number after right shift: 001F
