unsigned right shift operator

[abraham2119]

Apparently, when I use the unsigned right shift operator (>>>), I receive an error during compilation.

I am using MinGW.

Is this operator not available in C? If so, what would be the equivalent to this?

Thank you,

There is no >>> in C. If your variable is unsigned, it should happen automatically with >>.

There is unfortunately no >>> operator in C or C++ (though there is in other languages like Java).

The >> operator does what you are expecting. On signed integers, the >> may do sign-extension or it may do an unsigned shift, depending on the implementation. For signed integers, if you need one particular behaviour, you can emulate it yourself with other bitwise operators.
