An easy problem

[naskopw]

Can someone explain me what does "(integer + integer) >> 1" mean ...

[chipp]

">>" in this case is a binary operation, it's moves 1 byte to the right. but is integer is a variable?

sorry for disinforming

What do you mean by "1 byte to the right"? and integer is not a varuable.

[chipp]

correction:
it's shouldn't "1 byte to the right" but "1 bit to the right. what i mean about this is:

binary expression for 4:

00000100

when you write:

4 >> 1;

the result is:

2

because it shift 1 bit to the right, thus the binary expression is:

00000010

Thank you. Now I understand it.

Note that shifting to the left is equivalent to multiplying by powers of two, and shifting to the right is equivalent to dividing by powers of 2.
