Math.js is an extensive math library for JavaScript and Node.js. It features a flexible expression parser and offers an integrated solution to work with numbers, big numbers, complex numbers, units, and matrices.

# Function rightArithShift

Bitwise right arithmetic shift of a value x by y number of bits, `x >> y`.
For matrices, the function is evaluated element wise.
For units, the function is evaluated on the best prefix base.


## Syntax

```js
math.rightArithShift(x, y)
```

### Parameters

Parameter | Type | Description
--------- | ---- | -----------
`x` | Number | BigNumber | Boolean | Array | Matrix | null | Value to be shifted
`y` | Number | BigNumber | Boolean | null | Amount of shifts

### Returns

Type | Description
---- | -----------
Number | BigNumber | Array | Matrix | `x` sign-filled shifted right `y` times


## Examples

```js
math.rightArithShift(4, 2);               // returns Number 1

math.rightArithShift([16, -32, 64], 4);   // returns Array [1, -2, 3]
```
