Re: Difference between Perl and Java for << operator?

Don't know much about Java, but

How can a negative result be considered expected?

I think you should take care that both sides are unsigned integers of same size.

FWIW I don't get your Perl result

  DB<16> say $x= 0xFFFFFFFF << 28
1152921504338411520

so 64bit Perl seems to matter too.

It's an expected result if you assume signed 32 bit integer variables and your code is predicated on that assumption. Optimising for fewest key strokes only makes sense transmitting to Pluto or beyond	[reply]

All integers are signed in Java. or at least they were a decade ago when I used it. It's one of the annoyances of the language.	[reply]
