For positive signed numbers, where the leftmost bit is 0, both arithmetic and logical right shifts produce the same result.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For positive signed numbers, the leftmost bit (sign bit) is 0, and both arithmetic and logical right shifts will fill the leftmost bit with a 0. Since the value is positive, the shifts do not need to handle sign extension differently, resulting in the same output for both types of shifts.
