Operator Shr= (Shift Right And Assign)
 
Shifts right and assigns a value to a variable

Syntax
Usage

lhs shr= rhs

Parameters

lhs
The variable to assign to.
rhs
The value to shift lhs right by.

Description

This operator shifts the bits in its left-hand side (lhs) parameter a number of times specified by its right-hand side (rhs) parameter, and assigns the result to lhs. It is functionally equivalent to:

lhs = lhs Shr rhs

This operator can be overloaded for user-defined types.

Example

Dim i As Integer
i = &b00011000   '' = 24
i Shr= 3         '' = i\2^3
'' Result: 11          3            3
Print Bin(i), i, 24\2^3
Sleep
