Swift program to perform the bitwise right-shift operation

Here, we are going to learn how to perform the bitwise right-shift operation in Swift programming language?
Submitted by Nidhi, on June 03, 2021

Problem Solution:

Here, we will create two integer variables then we will perform a Bitwise right-shift (>>) operation between both variables and print the result on the console screen.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to perform the right-shift (>>) operation is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

// Swift program to the 
// perform right-shift operation

import Swift;

var num1 = 64;
var num2 = 3;
var res = 0;

res = num1 >> num2;

print(res);

Output:

8

...Program finished with exit code 0
Press ENTER to exit console.

Explanation:

In the above program, we imported a package Swift to use the print() function using the below statement,

import Swift;

Here, we created two integer variables num1 and num2 that are initialized with 64, 3 respectively. Then we performed a Bitwise right-shift (>>) operation between the num1 and num2 variables. After that, we printed the result on the console screen.

Evolution of expression:

res = 64 >> 3
res = 64 / (23)
res = 64 / 8
res = 8
