Bitwise Operators
The bitwise operators are similar to the logical operators, except that they work on a smaller scale -- binary representations of data.
Bitwise AND of 4-bit integers (below)
The following operators are available:
- op1 & op2 -- The AND operator compares two bits and generates a result of 1 if both bits are 1; otherwise, it returns 0.
- op1 | op2 -- The OR operator compares two bits and returns 1 if either or both of the bits are 1 and it gives 0 if both bits are 0.
- op1^ op2 -- The EXCLUSIVE-OR operator compares two bits and generates a result of 1 if the bits are complementary; otherwise, it returns 0.
~op1 -- The COMPLEMENT operator is used to invert all of the bits of the operand.- op1 >> op2 -- The SHIFT RIGHT operator moves the bits to the right, discards the far right bit, and assigns the leftmost bit a value of 0.
