Bitwise Operator In C Language

Bitwise operators are used for manipulating a data at the bit level, also called as bit level programming. Bit-level programming mainly consists of 0 and 1.

Fig: Bitwise Operator 

There are six type of bitwise operator in c language.

   1)   Left Shift Bitwise Operator (<<)

   2)   Right Shift Bitwise Operator (>>)

   3)   Inverse Bitwise Operator  (~)

   4)   Bitwise AND Operator (&)  

   5)   Bitwise OR Operator (|)

   6)   Exclusive Bitwise Operator (^)

1.Left Shift Bitwise Operator (<<)

The left shift operation will shift the 'n' number of bits to the left side.

Example:

a=13;

a<<2;

2.Right Shift Bitwise Operator(>>)

The right shift operation will shift the 'n' number of bits to the right side.

Example:

a=13;

a>>8;

3.Inverse Bitwise Operator(`)

The bitwise inverse is also called as one's complement operator since it always takes only one value or an operand. It is a unary operator.

Example:

a=7;

Binary digit=111

`a=000

4. Bitwise AND Operator (&)

Bitwise AND  operators, It is represented by a single ampersand sign (&). Two integer expressions are written on each side of the (&) operator.

The result of the bitwise AND operation is 1 if both the bits have the value as 1; otherwise, the result is always 0.

Example:

a                        b                               a&b

0                        0                               0

0                        1                               0

1                        0                               0

1                        1                               1

a=10101

b=01010

a&b=0000

   

5.Bitwise OR Operator (|)

It is represented by a single vertical bar sign (|). Two integer expressions are written on each side of the (|) operator.

Example:

a=0000 1101

a1=0001  1001

6. Bitwise Exclusion Operator (^)

It is represented by a symbol (^). Two integer expressions are written on each side of the (^) operator.

Example:

a=0000 1101

a1=0001  1001

 Program

#include<stdio.h>

#include<conio.h>

void main()

{

int   a=60;

int    b=13;

int c=0;

c=a&b;

printf(“Line1-value is c”);

c=a|b;

printf(“Line2-value is c”);

c=a^b;

printf(“Line3-value is c”);

c=`a;

printf(“Line4-value is c”);

c=a>>2;

printf(“Line5-value is c”);

c=a<<2;

printf(“Line6-value is c”);

getch();

}

Output:

Line1- value is c 12

Line2- value is c 61

Line3- value is c  49

Line4- value is c  61

Line5- value is c 240

Line6- value is c 15
