Since it is negative value the higher bits surely will be 1's (i.e 0xff (Upperbyte) because 31 will be somewhere in the lowerbyte) 3. Since int has 32 bits and we have to shift 30 bits right and this is an UNSIGNED RIGHT SHIFT all 30 0's will be filled 4. so we have 0x00000003 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000011 5. the ans. is 3
