Bitwise Operators

Bitwise Operators:

 

 

 

Bit Shifting

 

 

Bit Flags:

int alive = 1;

int tired = 2;

 

Using Bit Flags to pack multiple pieces of knowledge into a single variable

int student_status= alive | tired;

 

Bit Masking

allows us to detect which bits are set in a variable

This is useful when packing multiple pieces of data into a single variable, and then checking to see what has been packed.
