| For shift operations on int types, only the five lowest-order bits of the shift | |
| amount are used as the shift distance. This means that shift amounts that are | |
| not in the range 0 to 31, inclusive, are silently mapped to values in that | |
| range. For example, a shift of an int by 32 is equivalent to shifting by 0, | |
| i.e., a no-op. | |
| See JLS 15.19, "Shift Operators", for more details. |
