ollowing integer with more than
32 bits will be converted to a 32-bit integer:

    
    
    Before: 11100110111110100000000000000110000000000001
    After:              10100000000000000110000000000001
    

The right operand will be converted to an unsigned 32-bit integer and then
taken modulo 32, so the actual shift offset will always be a positive integer
between 0 and 31, inclusive. For example, ` 100 >>> 32 ` is the same as ` 100
>>> 0 ` (and produces ` 100 ` ) because 32 modulo 32 is 0.

##  Examples

###  Using unsigned right shift

js

    
    
    9 >>> 2; // 2
    -9 >>> 2; // 1073741821
    

Unsigned right shift doesn't work with BigInts.

js

    
    
    9n >>> 2n; // TypeError: BigInts have no unsigned right shift, use >> instead
