What are some examples of bitwise operators in Java?

Can you explain what bitwise operators are in Java?

Sure! Bitwise operators in Java perform operations on bits of integer types. They include AND, OR, XOR, NOT, and bit shifts.

Can you give me examples of how to use these operators?

Of course! For example, the AND operator (&) can be used like this: int result = a & b; where a and b are integers.

What about the OR operator?

The OR operator (|) works similarly. For instance, int result = a | b; will set each bit to 1 if either bit is 1.

Can you show me a complete example with all operators?

Certainly! Here's a simple example:

int a = 5; // 0101
int b = 3; // 0011
int and = a & b; // 0001
int or = a | b; // 0111
int xor = a ^ b; // 0110
int not = ~a; // 1010
int leftShift = a << 1; // 1010
int rightShift = a >> 1; // 0010
