Bitwise Operators

Various operators in the Objective-C language work with the particular bits inside a number. These operators are presented in below.

Bit Operators

  • & Bitwise AND
  • | Bitwise inclusive-OR
  • ^ Bitwise OR
  • ~ Ones complement
  • << Left shift
  • >> Right shift

Note:

All the operators listed in here , with the exception of the ones complement operator (~), are binary operators and as such take two operands. Bit operations can be performed on any type of integer value but cannot be performed on floating-point values.

How It Works

This C program demonstrates Bitwise Operators. It first prepares the data it needs, then performs the core operation step by step, and finally prints the output shown in the Sample Output above.

  1. Declare the variables that hold the program’s data.
  2. Print the final result to the console so you can compare it with the sample output.

Try changing the input values and re-running the program to see how the output changes — this is the fastest way to understand how the logic behaves.
