Overloading the bitwise NOT (~) is fairly simple. Scroll down for explanation Overloading outside of class/struct: T operator~(T lhs) { //Do operation return lhs; } Overloading inside of class/struct: T operator~() { T t(*this); //Do operation return t; } Note...

Note that all bitwise operations operate on 32-bit integers by passing any operands to the internal function ToInt32. Bitwise or var a; a = 0b0011 | 0b1010; // a === 0b1011 // truth table // 1010 | (or) // 0011 // 1011 (result) Bitwise and a = 0b0011 & 0b1010; // a === 0b0010 // t...

The & operator will perform a binary AND, where a bit is copied if it exists in both operands. That means: # 0 & 0 = 0 # 0 & 1 = 0 # 1 & 0 = 0 # 1 & 1 = 1 # 60 = 0b111100 # 30 = 0b011110 60 & 30 # Out: 28 # 28 = 0b11100 bin(60 & 30) # Out: 0b11100

The | operator will perform a binary "or," where a bit is copied if it exists in either operand. That means: # 0 | 0 = 0 # 0 | 1 = 1 # 1 | 0 = 1 # 1 | 1 = 1 # 60 = 0b111100 # 30 = 0b011110 60 | 30 # Out: 62 # 62 = 0b111110 bin(60 | 30) # Out: 0b111110

The ^ operator will perform a binary XOR in which a binary 1 is copied if and only if it is the value of exactly one operand. Another way of stating this is that the result is 1 only if the operands are different. Examples include: # 0 ^ 0 = 0 # 0 ^ 1 = 1 # 1 ^ 0 = 1 # 1 ^ 1 = 0 # 60 = 0b1111...

The << operator will perform a bitwise "left shift," where the left operand's value is moved left by the number of bits given by the right operand. # 2 = 0b10 2 << 2 # Out: 8 # 8 = 0b1000 bin(2 << 2) # Out: 0b1000 Performing a left bit shift of 1 is equivalent ...

The >> operator will perform a bitwise "right shift," where the left operand's value is moved right by the number of bits given by the right operand. # 8 = 0b1000 8 >> 2 # Out: 2 # 2 = 0b10 bin(8 >> 2) # Out: 0b10 Performing a right bit shift of 1 is equivalent...

The ~ operator will flip all of the bits in the number. Since computers use signed number representations — most notably, the two's complement notation to encode negative binary numbers where negative numbers are written with a leading one (1) instead of a leading zero (0). This means that if you w...

A flags-style enum value needs to be tested with bitwise logic because it may not match any single value. [Flags] enum FlagsEnum { Option1 = 1, Option2 = 2, Option3 = 4, Option2And3 = Option2 | Option3; Default = Option1 | Option3, } The Default value is actually a ...

The FlagsAttribute should be used whenever the enumerable represents a collection of flags, rather than a single value. The numeric value assigned to each enum value helps when manipulating enums using bitwise operators. Example 1 : With [Flags] [Flags] enum Colors { Red=1, Blue=2, ...

Bitwise operators perform operations on bit values of data. These operators convert operands to signed 32-bit integers in two's complement. Conversion to 32-bit integers Numbers with more than 32 bits discard their most significant bits. For example, the following integer with more than 32 bits i...

Bitwise operators can be used to perform bit level operation on variables. Below is a list of all six bitwise operators supported in C: SymbolOperator&bitwise AND|bitwise inclusive OR^bitwise exclusive OR (XOR)~bitwise not (one's complement)<<logical left shift>>logical right shift...

The bitwise NOT (~) performs a NOT operation on each bit in a value. Syntax: ~expression Returns: a Number. Description The truth table for the NOT operation is: aNOT a01101337 (base 10) = 0000010100111001 (base 2) ~1337 (base 10) = 1111101011000110 (base 2) = -1338 (base 10) A bit...

The Java language provides 4 operators that perform bitwise or logical operations on integer or boolean operands. The complement (~) operator is a unary operator that performs a bitwise or logical inversion of the bits of one operand; see JLS 15.15.5.. The AND (&) operator is a binary operat...
