3.13. Integer Bitwise Operators: ~, &, |, ^
A review of number representation (see Section G.4, p. 598) is recommended before continuing with this section on how integer bitwise operators can be applied to values of integral data types.
Integer bitwise operators include the unary operator ~ (bitwise complement) and the binary operators & (bitwise AND), | (bitwise inclusive OR), and ^ (bitwise exclusive OR, a.k.a. bitwise XOR ).
The binary bitwise operators perform bitwise operations between corresponding individual bit values in the operands. Unary numeric promotion is applied to the operand of the unary bitwise complement operator ~, and binary numeric promotion is applied to the operands of the binary bitwise operators. The result is a new ...
