Bitshift in javascript

Question

I\'ve got a really big number: 5799218898. And want to shift it right to 13 bits.
So, windows-calculator or python gives me:

5799218898 >> 13 | 10001010010000         


        

Answer 1

The number you have (5799218898) is beyond 32 bits. You didn't mention the JavaScript engine you're testing with, but it's very likely that it is 32-bit.

To test, trim the "5" at the beginning of your number so that you fall inside the 32-bit boundary. Then your shift should work fine.
