Can you give examples of bitwise operations?

Sure! Bitwise operations are operations that directly manipulate bits of binary numbers. Common examples include AND, OR, XOR, NOT, and bit shifts.

What does the AND operation do?

The AND operation compares each bit of two numbers and returns a new number where each bit is 1 only if both corresponding bits are 1.

Can you show me an example with numbers?

Of course! For example, if we take 5 (which is 0101 in binary) and 3 (which is 0011 in binary), the AND operation would result in 1 (which is 0001 in binary).

What about the OR operation?

The OR operation compares each bit and returns a new number where each bit is 1 if at least one of the corresponding bits is 1. For 5 and 3, the result would be 7 (which is 0111 in binary).
