Return the value of the specified `array` right‐shifted by the specified `numBits` positions, having filled the higher‐index positions with zeros. The behavior is undefined unless `numBits <= array.length()`. Note that the length of the result equals the length of the original array, and that the lowest‐order `numBits` are discarded in the result.
