The right shift operator in C++ is denoted by the >> symbol. It is a bitwise operator that shifts the bits of a number to the right by a specified number of positions. Here is an explanation of each step involved in the right shift operation:

1. The right shift operator takes two operands: the value to be shifted and the number of positions to shift by.
2. The value to be shifted can be an integer or a bitwise expression.
3. The number of positions to shift by is an integer value.
4. When the right shift operator is applied, the bits of the value are shifted to the right by the specified number of positions.
5. The rightmost bits that are shifted out of the value are discarded.
6. The leftmost bits that are shifted in are filled with the sign bit (for signed integers) or with zeros (for unsigned integers).
7. The result of the right shift operation is the shifted value.

Here is an example to illustrate the right shift operator in C++:
