I have ordered Dark Basic Pro but am awaiting its arrival. So, I don't have any manuals and only the trial version of the software.
My question is does Dark Basic Pro have any bit shift operators. Like Bit Shift >> and Bit Shift << in c++?

I can't get them to work. Am i doing something wrong? This is how they work in C++. Ex. number >>= 2. should divide by 4. I have tried ">> 2", ">>= 2", ">>" 2 and it does not work. See Code.

Our civilization faces three great dangers. The first is destruction by a nuclear war, the second is being crippled with overpopulation and the third is the Age of Leisure.

Unlike C++, DBPro does not use shortcuts, for example,
you cannot a += 1 instead of a = a + 1

In this case, number >>= 2 will have to be written out in full, number = number >> 2

Which means a little bit more typing than you would like

edit: Dang! winch got there first!

Programming anything is an art, and you can't rush art.
