Python bitwise operators

• Bitwise operator:  In python, the bitwise operator is used to performing the bitwise calculations on integers.
• It can apply to boolean type also.
• It will be converted into binary numbers and bitwise operations in integers first on that binary number.
• As it performs the bit to bit operations the name is called a bitwise operator.
• There are six types of bitwise operators in python they are:

1. &   And.
2. |      or.
3. ^      xor.
4. ~     bitwise not
5. >>   right shift.
6. <<   left shift.

1.And(&): If both bits are then it returns true, else false.

It is denoted by the "&" symbol.

syntax: (x&y).

Example: write a python program for integer values using And operator.

1. x=4
2. y=5
3. print(x&y)

output: 4

2. or(|):  If any one of the bits is true then the result is true, else false.

           It is denoted by the symbol "|".

syntax:(x|y).

Example: write a python program for integer values using or. 

1. x=10
2. y=5
3. print(x|y)

output: 15

3. xor(^): when both bits are different returns true, else false.

It is denoted by the "^" symbol.

syntax:(x^y)

Example: write a python code for integers using xor operator.

1. x=1
2. 2
3. print(x^y)

output: 3

4. Bitwise not (~): It is the complement of the bit if the bit is 1 if the result is 0, if the bit is 0 then it result is 1.

It is denoted by the "~" symbol.

syntax:(~x)

Example: write a python code for bool type using bitwise not operator.

1. x=true
2. print(~true)

output: -2.

5.Right shift(>>): It shifts one bit right and fills the left side vacant cells with significance values.

It is denoted by ">>".

syntax:(x>>).

Example: Write a python program using the right shift operator.

1. x=11
2. y=2
3. print(x>>y).

output: 2

6.Left shift(<<): It shifts one bit left and the right side vacant cells fill with 0.

It is denoted by the "<<" symbol.

syntax:(x<<)

Example: write a python code for int values using the left shift operator.

1. x=11
2. y=2
3. print(x<<y)

output:44
