Bitwise operators with signed numbers

#1

Hello Team,

Could you please also explain how the bitwise operators work with signed numbers, especially the left shift and right shift operators. For example, what will be the result of: -2 << 2?

#2

this will give you -8, that is
-2 -> -10
-8 -> -1000

#3

I am getting -42 as output of -2 << 2

#4

My question is not specific to this example. My question is in general how to handle << and >> operators with signed numbers

They work the same as they work with int.
