Diagram of simple filtration: oversize particles in the feed cannot pass through the lattice structure of the filter, while fluid and small particles pass through, becoming filtrate.
An odd function can be identified by replacing both the x and y values with -x and -y values. If the values in your equation are the opposite (positives are negatives and negatives are positives), then the function is odd. Take, for example, this equation y = x^2.
^ The >> operator in C and C++ is not necessarily an arithmetic shift. Usually it is only an arithmetic shift if used with a signed integer type on its left-hand side. If it is used on an unsigned integer type instead, it will be a logical shift.
