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.

.
What is the purpose of an arithmetic left shift?
In binary shifting, what happens to the value of a binary number when it is shifted to the left by 1 bit?
What is underflow in binary addition?
When performing arithmetic operations in binary, it is important to consider the potential for overflow or
.
What is overflow in binary addition?
In an arithmetic left shift, the value of the number is effectively multiplied by
for each shift operation.
In a logical shift to the right, the most significant bit is filled with a copy of the original bit rather than a

Binary Shifts
In computer science, binary overflow happens when the binary representation of a number exceeds the allotted number of
for storage.
Arithmetic right shift is a division operation that effectively divides the number by
for each shift.
An overflow error occurs when the result of a calculation is too large to be represented in the allocated
.
What is an overflow error in binary arithmetic?
Arithmetic right shift is performed on signed numbers where the leftmost bit represents the
of the number.
