The shifting operations have lower priority than the arithmetic operations:
shift_expr: a_expr | shift_expr ( "<<" | ">>" ) a_expr
These operators accept plain or long integers as arguments. The arguments are converted to a common type. They shift the first argument to the left or right by the number of bits given by the second argument.
A right shift by n bits is defined as division by
pow(2,n). A left shift by n bits is defined as
multiplication with pow(2,n); for plain integers there is
no overflow check so this drops bits and flips the sign if the result
is not less than pow(2,31) in absolute value.
Negative shift counts raise a ValueError exception.
