Found this operator in such line of code:

var t = Object(this),         len = t.length >>> 0; 

What does this operator mean?

Full code is below. It is the code of JS some method:

if (!Array.prototype.some) {   Array.prototype.some = function(fun /*, thisp */) {     "use strict";      if (this == null) throw new TypeError();      var t = Object(this),         len = t.length >>> 0;      if (typeof fun != "function") throw new TypeError();      var thisp = arguments[1];      for (var i = 0; i < len; i++) {       if (i in t && fun.call(thisp, t[i], i, t))         return true;     }      return false;   }; }

>>> is a right shift without sign extension

If you use the >> operator on a negative number, the result will also be negative because the original sign bit is copied into all of the new bits. With >>> a zero will be copied in instead.

In this particular case it's just being used as a way to restrict the length field to an unsigned 31 bit integer, or in other words to "cast" Javascript's native IEEE754 "double" number into an integer.
