Bitwise AND Operation
Understanding Bitwise AND:
The bitwise AND operation takes two binary numbers and performs the logical AND operation on each pair of corresponding bits. The result is 1 if both bits are 1, otherwise, it is 0.
int a = 5; // 0101 in binary
int b = 3; // 0011 in binary
int result = a & b; // 0001 in binary
System.out.println(result); // Outputs 1
Console Output:
1
Bitwise OR Operation
Understanding Bitwise OR:
The bitwise OR operation compares each pair of corresponding bits from two binary numbers. The result is 1 if at least one of the bits is 1; otherwise, it is 0.
int a = 5; // 0101 in binary
int b = 3; // 0011 in binary
int result = a | b; // 0111 in binary
System.out.println(result); // Outputs 7
Console Output:
7
Bitwise XOR Operation
Understanding Bitwise XOR:
The bitwise XOR operation compares each pair of corresponding bits from two binary numbers. The result is 1 if the bits are different; otherwise, it is 0.
int a = 5; // 0101 in binary
int b = 3; // 0011 in binary
int result = a ^ b; // 0110 in binary
System.out.println(result); // Outputs 6
Console Output:
6
Bitwise NOT Operation
Understanding Bitwise NOT:
The bitwise NOT operation inverts each bit of a binary number. This means that all 0s become 1s and all 1s become 0s.
int a = 5; // 0101 in binary
int result = ~a; // 1010 in binary (inverted)
System.out.println(result); // Outputs -6
Console Output:
-6
Left Shift Operation
Understanding Left Shift:
The left shift operation shifts all bits in a binary number to the left by a specified number of positions, filling the vacant positions with 0s. This operation effectively multiplies the number by 2 for each shift position.
int a = 5; // 0101 in binary
int result = a << 1; // 1010 in binary
System.out.println(result); // Outputs 10
Console Output:
10
