# bitwise.srshift() function

-   Flux 0.138.0 – 0.173.0
-   View InfluxDB support

`bitwise.srshift()` is experimental and [subject to change at any time](/flux/v0/stdlib/experimental/#experimental-packages-are-subject-to-change).

`bitwise.srshift()` shifts the bits in `a` right by `b` bits. Both `a` and `b` are integers.

#### Deprecated

Experimental `bitwise.srshift` is deprecated in favor of [`bitwise.srshift`](/flux/v0/stdlib/bitwise/srshift/).

##### Function type signature

```js
(a: int, b: int) => int
```

For more information, see [Function type signatures](/flux/v0/function-type-signatures/).

## Parameters

### a

(Required) Left hand operand.

### b

(Required) Number of bits to shift.

## Examples

-   [Shift bits right in integers in a stream of tables](#shift-bits-right-in-integers-in-a-stream-of-tables)

### Shift bits right in an integer

```js
import "experimental/bitwise"

bitwise.srshift(a: 1234, b: 2)// Returns 308

```

### Shift bits right in integers in a stream of tables

```js
import "experimental/bitwise"
import "sampledata"

sampledata.int()
    |> map(fn: (r) => ({r with _value: bitwise.srshift(a: r._value, b: 3)}))
```
