Remark
Use the bitwise operators to modify the individual bits rather than the number.
Operator
|
What it does
|
&
|
bitwise AND; compares two bits and generates a 1 result if both bits are 1, otherwise it returns 0.
|
|
|
bitwise inclusive OR; compares two bits and generates a 1 result if either or both bits are 1, otherwise it returns 0.
|
^
|
bitwise exclusive OR; compares two bits and generates a 1 result if the bits are complementary, otherwise it returns 0.
|
~
|
bitwise complement; inverts each bit. ~ is used to create destructors.
|
>>
|
bitwise shift right; moves the bits to the right, discards the far right bit and assigns the left most bit to 0.
|
<<
|
bitwise shift left; moves the bits to the left, it discards the far left bit and assigns the right most bit to 0.
|
Both operands in a bitwise expression must be of an integral type.

Note: &, >>, << are context sensitive:
& can also be the reference operator.
>> can also be the input operator in I/O expressions.
<< can also be the output operator in I/O expressions.
