In this case the >>> operator is meaningless for short int and there is 
no option to perform this operation except for emulating the behavior by 
other bit functions or types. The same applies to byte as well.
Of course, this is only another side effect of the missing unsigned types.
Is this guaranteed by the language or just implementation defined?
