Bitwise shift left and right in the same statement

Question

Is char c2=i1<<8>>24; valid C syntax? (Where i1 is and unsigned integer) Additionally, will it yield the result of shifting i1

Answer 1

Yes, it is a valid syntax. It is a valid syntax also for signed int i1, in which case you can achieve filling the 'upper part' of the value with the bit from a chosen position.
