Bit, or bitwise, operators allow the programmer to work on individual bits. For example, a short integer holds 16 bits (on most machines). The bit operators treat each of these as an independent bit. By contrast, an add operator treats the 16 bits as a single 16-bit number. Bit operators allow you to set, clear, test, and perform other operations on bits. The bit operators are listed in Table 11-2. Table 11-2. Bit operators
These operators work on any integer or character-data type. |
