- 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:
- & And.
- | or.
- ^ xor.
- ~ bitwise not
- >> right 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.
- x=4
- y=5
- 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.
- x=10
- y=5
- 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.
- x=1
- 2
- 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.
- x=true
- 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.
- x=11
- y=2
- 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 "
syntax:(x
Example: write a python code for int values using the left shift operator.
- x=11
- y=2
- print(x
output:44
