>> is the right shift operator in Java. It shifts the bits of the first operand (5 in this case) to the right by the number of positions specified in the second operand (2 in this case). Shifting right by n positions is equivalent to dividing by 2^n and taking the floor.

In this case, 5 is represented in binary as 00000101. When we shift it right by two positions, we get 00000001, which is the binary representation of 1. Therefore, the output of the System.out.println(5>>2) statement is 1.
