Advanced Topics - Bitwise Operators
Introduction
In this course you were able to use the Boolean operators &&, ||, and !. These are not the only Boolean operators. There are several Bitwise Operators.
Demo Code
namespace BitwiseOperatorDemo
{
internal class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
int a = 60; //60 = 0011 1100
int b = 13; //13 = 0000 1101
int c;
Console.WriteLine("Binary AND");
c = a & b;
Console.WriteLine($"a & b = {c}");
Console.WriteLine("\nBinary OR");
c = a | b;
Console.WriteLine($"a | b = {c}");
Console.WriteLine("\nBinary XOR");
c = a ^ b;
Console.WriteLine($"a ^ b = {c}");
Console.WriteLine("\nBinary Ones Compliment");
c = ~a;
Console.WriteLine($"~a = {c}");
Console.WriteLine("\nBinary Left Shift");
c = a << 2;
Console.WriteLine($"a << 2 = {c}");
Console.WriteLine("\nBinary Right Shift");
c = a >> 2;
Console.WriteLine($"a >> 2 = {c}");
Console.ReadLine();
}//eom
}//eoc
}//eon
NOTE: The results in the screenshot above can be better explained by converting all the values for c to binary and to do binary math.
