Example
The following commented code uses the bitwise right shift and assignment (>>=) operator.
function convertToBinary(numberToConvert:Number):String {
var result:String = "";
for (var i = 0; i>= 1;
}
return result;
}
trace(convertToBinary(479));
// Returns the string 00000000000000000000000111011111
// This string is the binary representation of the decimal
// number 479

>>> bitwise unsigned right shift operator
expression1 >>> expression2
The same as the bitwise right shift (>>) operator except that it does not preserve the sign of the
original expression because the bits on the left are always filled with 0.
Floating-point numbers are converted to integers by discarding any digits after the decimal
point. Positive integers are converted to an unsigned hex value with a maximum value of
4294967295 or 0xFFFFFFFF; values larger than the maximum have their most significant
digits discarded when they are converted so the value is still 32-bit. Negative numbers are
converted to an unsigned hex value via the two's complement notation, with the minimum
being -2147483648 or 0x800000000; numbers less than the minimum are converted to two's
complement with greater precision and also have the most significant digits discarded.
Operands
expression1 : Number - A number or expression to be shifted right.
expression2 : Number - A number or expression that converts to an integer between 0 and
31.
