I have a problem with the use of the '>>' character, I would like to know what function it actually fulfills, what it does, taking into account something like:
System.out.println(5>>1);the result is 2 but why? I understand that it is also called the Bits operator but it really compares the bits of these numbers and determines what?
To know why, you have to pass the number 5 to binary:
00000101The operator
>>shiftsX bitsto the right depending on the number after the operator, in your case1 bit, so00000101 -> 00000010what is2
