Arithmetic shifts are commonly used in programming languages to perform multiplication and division by powers of
.
In arithmetic left shift, the bits that are shifted out are lost and the spaces at the right end are filled with
.
Right shifts can be used to quickly divide an integer by 2 or a power of
, without having to actually perform a division operation.
Arithmetic right shift is performed on signed numbers where the leftmost bit represents the
of the number.
In binary shifting, what happens to the value of a binary number when it is shifted to the left by 1 bit?
Binary Shifts
Binary arithmetic
What happens when an arithmetic left shift causes an overflow?
Binary underflow occurs when the result of a calculation is too small to be represented in the allocated
.

Carry Bit
The arithmetic shift operations in computers are more efficient than the equivalent division or multiplication operations for powers of
.
The result of an arithmetic right shift of 2 on the binary number 101000 is
.
The result of an arithmetic right shift of 1 on the binary number 101000 is
.
Binary shift
Binary underflow can lead to inaccuracies in calculations due to the limited precision of floating-point
.
When performing an arithmetic right shift on a negative number, the sign bit is
.
