Equivalent of Java triple shift operators (>>> and <<<) in C#?

Question

What is the equivalent (in C#) of Java's >>> operator? Just to clarify, I'm not referring to the >> and << operators.

Answer 1

In C#, you can use unsigned integer types, and then the << and >> do what you expect. The MSDN documentation on shift operators gives you the details.

Since Java doesn't support unsigned integers (apart from char), this additional operator became necessary.

Answer 2

Java doesn't have an unsigned left shift (<<<), but either way, you can just cast to uint and shfit from there.

E.g.

(int)((uint)foo >> 2); // temporarily cast to uint, shift, then cast back to int
