C++ <bitset> - operator>> Function

The C++ bitset::operator>> function is used to perform bitwise right SHIFT operation on the given bitset.

Syntax

C++98
C++11

bitset operator>>(size_t pos) const;

bitset operator>>(size_t pos) const noexcept;

Parameters

pos Specify number of bit locations to be shifted.

Return Value

Returns new bitset object which contains shifted bits.

Exception

Never throws exceptions.

Example:

In the example below, the bitset::operator>> function is used to perform bitwise right SHIFT operation on the given bitset.

#include <iostream>
#include <bitset>
using namespace std;
 
int main (){
  bitset<4> bset("1001");

  cout<<"bset is: "<<bset;

  //performing bitwise right shift operation using bset
  cout<<"\n(bset>>1): "<<(bset>>1);
  cout<<"\n(bset>>2): "<<(bset>>2);

  return 0;
}

The output of the above code will be:

bset is: 1001
(bset>>1): 0100
(bset>>2): 0010
