ee.Number.rightShift

AI-generated Key Takeaways

• The Number.rightShift(right) method calculates the signed right shift of a number (left) by a specified number of bits (right).

• It takes two arguments, the left-hand value (this: left) and the right-hand value (right), both of which are Numbers.

• The method returns a Number, representing the result of the signed right shift operation.

Calculates the signed right shift of v1 by v2 bits.

Usage	Returns
Number.rightShift(right)	Number

Argument	Type	Details
this: left	Number	The left-hand value.
right	Number	The right-hand value.
