What are logical and bitwise operators in programming?

Can you explain what logical and bitwise operators are?

Sure! Logical operators are used to combine boolean values, while bitwise operators work on binary representations of integers.

Can you give me examples of both?

Of course! For logical operators, examples include AND (&&), OR (||), and NOT (!). For bitwise, examples are AND (&), OR (|), and XOR (^).

How do these operators differ in their usage?

Logical operators are typically used in conditional statements, while bitwise operators manipulate individual bits of integer values.

Can you show me a code snippet using both types of operators?

Certainly! Here's a simple example in JavaScript:

let a = 5; // 0101 in binary
let b = 3; // 0011 in binary

// Logical operator
if (a > 0 && b > 0) {
    console.log('Both are positive');
}

// Bitwise operator
let result = a & b; // result is 1 (0001 in binary)
console.log(result);
