In Java, why does -32 >>> -1 = 1 ?
It's not specific to just -32. It works for all negative numbers as long as they're not too big.
I've found that

Can someone quickly explain to me the behavior of bitwise shift operations. For example: 13 >> 1 = 6 13 >> 2 = 3 13 >> 3 = 1 I understand the logic in how these bits are shifted and the end result in these cases. I also understand why if you shift over 3 then you should get 0 back. ...

8. Division by bit shift    coderanch.com

I read that performance can be improved by using bit shifting in place of division. Is it possible to do this with denominators other than 2? For example, say I want to divide 2 by 3. (ie. 2/3) What about 3/4? How would I do this and would I get the same performance benefits? Thanks, Drew

I once had the job of maintaining code written by a quintescent heads-down programmer. A brilliant guy, but a little sparse on the comments. That is, he never wrote any at all. Even his variables tended to be x1, x2, x3, etc. So I'm looking for this place where the user answers a yes/no question, where Y and y were the ...

Well, the classic usage is packing multiple values into an int. I know this kind of stuff makes people go " ", but if you're going to have two million objects which each need ten state values each of which can have three different value, you can use ten integers (80 megabytes total) to store them, or one integer (8 megabytes ...

14. shifting bits of -1    coderanch.com

That's because when you shift an int 32 times, it will really be shifted 0 times instead of 32 times. Section 15.19 of the Java Language Specification explains this: If the promoted type of the left-hand operand is int, only the five lowest-order bits of the right-hand operand are used as the shift distance. It is as if the right-hand operand ...

Something that just pondered across my mind. Bitwise operators have their uses, and I've always known about right/left shifting to divide/multiply by 2. I recently did some empirical analysis on an algorithm using this technique, and I had to iterate it over a trillion times before I started seeing any timing differences, and even then they were in the order of ...
