Bitwise shift returns unexpected value in Python

Question

I'm performing 55 << 30 in C# and Python 3. C# returns -1073741824, which is what I want, but Python returns 59055800320. Can someone explain why exactly this happens, and what I can do to fix it?

Answer 1

python ints are arbitrarily large ... you can force it sort of

import numpy

numpy.int32(55) << 30
