Bits manipulation

Dart provides bitwise and shift operators to manipulate individual bits of numbers, usually with the num type. They are as follows:

• &: To apply logical AND to operands, checking whether the corresponding bits are both 1
• |: To apply logical OR to operands, checking whether at least one of the corresponding bits is 1
• ^: To apply logical XOR to operands, checking whether only one (but not both) of the corresponding bits is 1
• ~operand: To invert the bits of the operand, such as 1_s becoming 0_s and 0_s becoming 1_s
• <<: To shift the left operand in x bits to the left (this shifts 0_s from the right)
• >>: To shift the left operand in x bits to the right (discarding the bits from the left)

Like arithmetic operators, the bitwise ones ...
