I am trying to translate Java code with logical right shift (>>>) (Difference between >>> and >>) to C#

Java code is

 return hash >>> 24 ^ hash & 0xFFFFFF;

C# is marked >>> as syntax error.

How to fix that?

Update 1 People recommend to use >> in C#, but it didn't solve problem.

System.out.println("hash 1 !!! = " + (-986417464>>>24));

is 197

but 

Console.WriteLine("hash 1 !!! = " + (-986417464 >> 24));

is -59

Thank you!

Java needed to introduce >>> because its only unsigned type is char, whose operations are done in integers.

C#, on the other hand, has unsigned types, which perform right shift without sign extension:

uint h = (uint)hash;
return h >> 24 ^ h & 0xFFFFFF;

  • No, it is not. For example System.out.println("hash 2 !!! = " + (-986417464>>>24)); is 197 but Console.WriteLine("hash 1 !!! = " + (-986417464 >> 24)); is -59 – Arthur Jan 19 '17 at 12:34
  • But why it is not equal in my example Console.WriteLine("hash 1 !!! = " + (-986417464 >> 24)); ? – Arthur Jan 19 '17 at 12:43

    @ArthurKhusnutdinov Because you are shifting an `int`, not a `uint`. `-986417464` is `int` by default. You need to add a cast ([link](http://ideone.com/N7ze1W)). – Sergey Kalinichenko Jan 19 '17 at 12:48

For C# you can just use >>

If the left-hand operand is of type uint or ulong, the right-shift operator performs a logical shift: the high-order empty bit positions are always set to zero.

From the docs.
