What is the result of a logical right shift operation?
During an arithmetic right shift, the sign bit is shifted to the right, but the other bits are filled with the original
of the sign bit.
When performing arithmetic operations in binary, it is important to consider the potential for overflow or
.
Logical shifts are often used in computer programming to manipulate
numbers.
Which of the following can cause an overflow in binary addition?
What happens to the sign bit during an arithmetic right shift?
What happens when a left shift operation causes overflow?
Arithmetic right shift is a division operation that effectively divides the number by
for each shift.
Floating point
What is an unsigned overflow error in binary arithmetic?
Arithmetic shifts are commonly used in programming languages to perform multiplication and division by powers of
.
What happens when an arithmetic left shift causes an overflow?
In binary shifting, what happens to the value of a binary number when it is shifted to the left by 1 bit?
What is the result of a logical left shift operation?
The arithmetic shift operations in computers are more efficient than the equivalent division or multiplication operations for powers of

In binary shifting, what happens to the value of a binary number when it is shifted to the right by 1 bit?
Binary underflow
In arithmetic left shift, the bits that are shifted out are lost and the spaces at the right end are filled with
.
