Discussion Forum : Operators and Assignments - Finding the output (Q.No. 4)
4.
What will be the output of the program?
class BitShift
{
public static void main(String [] args)
{
int x = 0x80000000;
System.out.print(x + " and ");
x = x >>> 31;
System.out.println(x);
}
}
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Option A is correct. The >>> operator moves all bits to the right, zero filling the left bits. The bit transformation looks like this:
Before: 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
After: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001
Option C is incorrect because the >>> operator zero fills the left bits, which in this case changes the sign of x, as shown.
Option B is incorrect because the output method print() always displays integers in base 10.
Option D is incorrect because this is the reverse order of the two output numbers.

How do you perform shift operation? Can you explain?
How did you get -2147483648 and 1
what is mean by it ?

Int x = 0x80000000;
Here, x value is in Hexadecimal and if we convert into in decimal -2147483648.
If we convert into in binary, the value is 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000.
x = x >>> 31;
X is stored using 32 bit 2's complement form.
By this Unsigned right shift operation,
Before: 1000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000.
After: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001.

How you can say that it is in hexadecimal form?

int x = 0x80000000;
'x' in the value 0x80000000; indicates it as a hexadecimal value.
'x' in the value 0x80000000; indicates it as a hexadecimal value.

How the 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0001 converts to -2147483648 and 1?

0X80000000 to 2147483648(2^31) is clear but how this '-' sign comes in it?

Binary equivalent of 0X80000000 is 10000000000000000000000000000000. In int data type if 32nd bit is off, then decimal equivalent is positive and if 32nd bit is on then the equivalent is negative.

But hexadecimal representation of Number allow only 4 Digits after 0X?
