Bitwise operations on 32-bit unsigned ints?

Question

JavaScript converts operands to 32-bit signed ints before doing bitwise operations. It also does the operation with 32-bit signed ints, meaning that the result is a 32-bit s

Answer 1

It's ugly, but:

var a = 1986735448;
var b = (a << 1) >>> 0;
/* b = 3973470896 */
