It is right shift operator, which will produce divide by 2 action. For example 10>>2 will produce 5. the binary value of 10 is "1010" if we right shift the above by one position it will be "0101" this is equivalent to 5.

The post is wrong. 10 >> 2 != 5. X >> Y is the same as X / (2 ^ Y). 10 is 1010 and >> 2 is right shift two. That would result in 2 (or 10 in binary), not 5 (101 in binary).
