Shift Right Unsigned

Pop two integers, shift the 2nd signed integer by the number of bits specified by the first integer and push the result back on the stack.

To right shift an unsigned integer, use Shift Right Unsigned instead.

This action repeats the sign bit of the integer being shifted. This means negative numbers remain negative and positive numbers remain positive.
