Bitwise Operators
AND (&)
1 if both bits are 1
1 & 1 = 1
1 & 0 = 0
0 & 1 = 0
0 & 0 = 0 OR (|)
1 if at least one bit is 1
1 | 1 = 1
1 | 0 = 1
0 | 1 = 1
0 | 0 = 0 XOR (^)
1 if bits are different
1 ^ 1 = 0
1 ^ 0 = 1
0 ^ 1 = 1
0 ^ 0 = 0 NOT (~)
Inverts all bits
~1 = 0
~0 = 1 Left Shift (<<)
Shifts bits left, filling with 0
5 << 1 = 10
0101 → 1010 Right Shift (>>)
Shifts bits right
10 >> 1 = 5
1010 → 0101 Common Use Cases
- Check if even:
n & 1 === 0 - Multiply by 2:
n << 1 - Divide by 2:
n >> 1 - Toggle bit:
n ^ (1 << position) - Set bit:
n | (1 << position) - Clear bit:
n & ~(1 << position)
