Bitwise Operators

Bitwise Operators — (<<, >>, ~ , &, |, ^)

Syntax

number << shift;
number >> shift;
~ number
number & number
number | number
number ^ number

Arguments

number: Any number,
shift: The number of bit shifts to perform.

Returns

An integer which is the result of the particular operation.

Description

<<, >> return the first argument with a left or right bitshift operation performed the number of times of the second argument.

~ returns the binary opposite of the number.

& compares each of the corresponding digits of the two numbers. If both digits are 1, returns 1 for that place. Otherwise returns 0 for that place.

| compares each of the corresponding digits of the two numbers. If either those digits is 1, returns 1 for that place. Otherwise returns 0 for that place.

^ compares each of the corresponding digits of the two numbers. If both digits are the same, returns O for that place. If they are different (ie. 0 and 1) returns 1 for that place.
