Why don't you just, you know, try them out?
Fire up MATLAB or GNU Octave (here I'm using MATLAB R2016a)
>> bitshift(1024, -9)
ans =
2
>> bitshift(1024, +9)
ans =
524288
And fire up Python
Python 3.7.1 | packaged by conda-forge | (default, Nov 13 2018, 18:33:04)
[GCC 7.3.0] :: Anaconda, Inc. on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> 1024 >> 9
2
>>> 1024 << 9
524288
>>> 1024 << -9
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ValueError: negative shift count
