3.6.4. Bitwise operators examples
Last updated: 23 January 2013.

Let's write a simple method called bitwiseOperatorsTest to illustrate the uses of bitwise operators:

public void bitwiseOperatorsTest(){

   
byte a = 5; // the binary representation of a is 00000101

   
byte b = 6; // the binary representation of b is 00000110


   
System.out.println(a & b);       // the binary result is 00000100. The output is 4

   
System.out.println(a | b);    // the binary result is 00000111. The output is 7

   
System.out.println(a ^ b);    // the binary result is 00000011. The output is 3

   
System.out.println(~ a);    // the binary result is 11111010. The output is -6

   
System.out.println(a << 1);    // the binary result is 00001010. The output is 10

   
System.out.println(b >> 1);    // the binary result is 00000011. The output is 3

   
System.out.println(b >>> 1);// the binary result is 00000011. The output is 3

}
