What are some examples of bitwise operations in Haskell?

In Haskell, you can use operators like .&., .|., and xor for bitwise operations. Would you like to see some code examples?

Yes, please provide a code example for AND operation.

Sure! Here's a simple example:

import Data.Bits

let a = 5  -- 0101 in binary
let b = 3  -- 0011 in binary
let result = a .&. b  -- result is 1 (0001 in binary)

This performs a bitwise AND operation between a and b.

What about the OR operation?

For the OR operation, you can use the .|. operator. Here's an example:

let result = a .|. b  -- result is 7 (0111 in binary)

This combines the bits of a and b using the OR operation.

Can you explain the XOR operation as well?

Certainly! The XOR operation can be performed using the xor function. Here's how it works:

let result = xor a b  -- result is 6 (0110 in binary)

XOR returns 1 for bits that are different.
