Replace paragraph
replace last paragraph with:
"For numbers that are negative, though, something quite different
happens. You see, the unsigned right shift operator fills all empty
bits with zeroes. For positive numbers, this behaves exactly the same
as the signed right shift. Negative numbers, however, are treated as
if they are positive. Since the result of unsigned right shift is a
positive 32-bit number, you end up with a very large number whenever
operating on a negative number. For example, if you shift –64 to the
right by five bits, you end up with 134217726. How does this happen?"
