 The shift operators shift the left operand by the shift count specified by the
-right operand. They implement arithmetic shifts if the left operand is a signed
+right operand, which must be positive. If the shift count is negative at run time,

+The shift operators implement arithmetic shifts if the left operand is a signed
 integer and logical shifts if it is an unsigned integer.
 There is no upper limit on the shift count. Shifts behave
 as if the left operand is shifted <code>n</code> times by 1 for a shift
