This is illustrated below:. For positive numbers, a single right-shift is equivalent to a division by 2 2 2. In the diagram above, the initial decimal number is 1 0 10 1 0 and it is halved to 5 5 5 by a logical right-shift. An arithmetic right-shift of one position moves each bit to the right by one step.
The least significant bit rightmost bit is discarded and the vacant bit leftmost bit, also known as the most significant bit is filled with the value of the original most significant bit.

Previous Compute the parity of a number using XOR and table look-up. As mentioned above, if the hemoglobin is very low say, below 6 , then the leukoerythroblastotic reaction is probably physiologic. And reading my own health test, I ran across this subject and you were awesome explaining it.
Thank you. I have to tell you I have learnt so much from your posts than I havee done in so many hours of studying my texts. Also I have a question. How do we differentiate a band cell from a monocyte in a peripheral smear? The way you write makes it so enjoyable and easy to understand. Thank you for helping out with our learning process. Well, sort of. It could mean that the white count is very high, or that there are immature cells present. Good question! Two things: chromatin pattern and cytoplasm.
Bands have a clumpy chromatin pattern, just like segmented neutrophils. Your email address will not be published. Notify me of follow-up comments by email. Notify me of new posts by email.

For signed numbers, the sign bit is used to fill the vacated bit positions.
In other words, if the number is positive, 0 is used, and if the number is negative, 1 is used. The result of a right-shift of a signed negative number is implementation-dependent. The expressions on both sides of a shift operator must be integral types. Integral promotions are performed according to the rules described in Standard Conversions.
The type of the result is the same as the type of the promoted shift-expression. In the following example, a variable of type char is promoted to an int. The result of a shift operation is undefined if additive-expression is negative or if additive-expression is greater than or equal to the number of bits in the promoted shift-expression. No shift operation is performed if additive-expression is 0.
