Bitwise and Logical Operators
Table 3.4 summarizes the operators that can be used on individual bits in integer primitives and in logical expressions. Bitwise operators are used in expressions with integer values and apply an operation separately to each bit in an integer. The term logical expression refers to an expression in which all of the operands can be reduced to boolean primitives. Logical operators produce a boolean primitive result.
