Bitwise & Bit Shift Operators >

Bitwise operators can be applied on byte, short, char, int and long.

Bitwise operator performs operations on bits.

	Bitwise Operators
&	bitwise AND operator operator1 operator2 bitwise AND operator Result 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1
^	bitwise EXCLUSIVE OR operator (XOR) operator1 operator2 bitwise EXCLUSIVE OR Result 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0
|	bitwise INCLUSIVE OR operator operator1 operator2 bitwise INCLUSIVE OR Result 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1
~	unary bitwise complement operator Inverts the bits operator unary bitwise complement operator Result 0 1 1 0

	Bitshift Operators
<<	bitwise Left Shift Operator Moves specified bits to left.
>>	bitwise Right Shift Operator Moves specified bits to right.
>>>	unsigned Right Shift Operator shifts a zero into the leftmost position, while the leftmost position after ">>" depends on sign extension

Program 4.1 to demonstrate Bitwise operators

/** JavaMadeSoEasy.com */ public class BitWiseOperatorTest {    public static void main(String[] args) {                     int x=38; //0010 0110           int y=58; //0011 1010           System.out.println(x+" - "+Integer.toBinaryString(x));           System.out.println(y+" - "+Integer.toBinaryString(y));           int z=x&y;           System.out.println("\n & operator");           System.out.println(z+" - "+Integer.toBinaryString(z));           z=x^y;           System.out.println("\n ^ operator");           System.out.println(z+" -  "+Integer.toBinaryString(z));           z=x|y;           System.out.println("\n | operator");           System.out.println(z+" - "+Integer.toBinaryString(z));                        } } /*OUTPUT 38 - 100110 58 - 111010 & operator 34 - 100010 ^ operator 28 -  11100 | operator 62 - 111110 */

Program 4.2 to demonstrate Bitshift operators

/** JavaMadeSoEasy.com */ public class BitShiftOperatorTest {    public static void main(String[] args) {           //128,64,32,16,   8,4,2,1           int x=38; //0010 0110           System.out.println(x+" - "+Integer.toBinaryString(x));           int z=x>>2;           System.out.println("\n >> operator");           System.out.println(z+" -  "+Integer.toBinaryString(z));           z=x<<2;           System.out.println("\n << operator");           System.out.println(z+" - "+Integer.toBinaryString(z));           x=38;           z=x>>>2;           System.out.println("\n >>> operator");           System.out.println(z+" - "+Integer.toBinaryString(z));                        } } /*OUTPUT 38 - 100110 >> operator 9 -  1001 << operator 152 - 10011000 >>> operator 9 - 1001 */
