shifting numbers with << and >>

  • 18 years ago

    I'm having a little trouble shifting numbers.


    if I go :


    System.out.println(65535>>8);


    I get 255 like I should, but if I go the other way:


    System.out.println(255<<8);


    I get 65280 which is wrong.
    Is this a weird bug or something because I can't figure it out.


    ideas?



    thanks.
