What does the “>>” operator in C# do?

Question

I ran into this statement in a piece of code:

Int32 medianIndex = colorList.Count >> 1;

colorList is a list of class

Answer 1

It's not very readable code, basically it just divides the number by 2.

>> is the shift-right operator, shifting all bits one position to the right.

0110 (6) becomes 0011 (3)
