What does the notation <code>somevar >> 0</code> mean in javascript? Thanks

In <code>a >> b</code>, <code>>></code> is a bitwise operator that shifts <code>a</code> in binary representation <code>b</code> (< 32) bits to the right, discarding bits shifted off. Reference: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Bitwise_Operators

Bitwise right shift. Although <code>somevar >> 0</code> looks weird.
