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);
    }
}
-2147483648 and 1
0x80000000 and 0x00000001
-2147483648 and -1
1 and -2147483648
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 to perform shift operation? Please explain me.

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

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

int x = 0x80000000;

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

How you can say that it is in hexadecimal form?

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 do you perform shift operation? Can you explain?

How did you get -2147483648 and 1

what is mean by it ?
