What is >>> operation in C++

I need to convert this tiny little part of Java to C + +, but do not know what is ‘>>>’ … searched, but found no references, only on shift.
Does anyone have any ideas?

int x1;

x1 = text1[i1++] & 0xff;

text2[i2++] = (char) (x1 >>> 8); 

Answer 1

The unsigned right shift (>>>) doesn’t exist in C++, because it’s not necessary — C++ has distinct signed and unsigned integer types. If you want right shifts to be unsigned, make the variable that’s being shifted unsigned:

unsigned int x1 = text1[i1++] & 0xff;
text2[i2++] = (char) (x1 >> 8);

That being said, the code you’re translating is silly. The result of the second operation will always be zero in Java, so you could just as easily translate it to:

i1++;
text2[i2++] = 0;
