Bitwise Operators in C Program


Bitwise operators are used for manipulating data at the bit level, also called bit level programming.

Operator Description
& Bitwise AND
| Bitwise OR
^ Bitwise exclusive OR
~ Bitwise complement
<< Shift left
>> Shift right

Example : pgm.c

#include <stdio.h>

main() {

    int a = 30;	/* 30 = 0001 1110 */  
    int b = 15;	/* 15 = 0000 1111 */
    int c = 0;           

   c = a & b;       /* 14 = 0000 1110 */ 
   printf("Bitwise AND - Value of c is %d\n", c );

   c = a | b;       /* 31 = 0001 1111 */
   printf("Bitwise OR - Value of c is %d\n", c );

   c = a ^ b;       /* 17 = 0001 0001 */
   printf("Bitwise exclusive OR - Value of c is %d\n", c );

   c = ~a;          /*-31 = 1110 0001 */
   printf("Bitwise complement - Value of c is %d\n", c );

   c = a << 2;     /* 120 = 1111 0000 */
   printf("Shift left - Value of c is %d\n", c );

   c = a >> 2;     /* 7 = 0000 0111 */
   printf("Shift right - Value of c is %d\n", c );
}

Output:

Bitwise AND - Value of c is 14
Bitwise OR - Value of c is 31
Bitwise exclusive OR - Value of c is 17
Bitwise complement - Value of c is -31
Shift left - Value of c is 120
Shift right - Value of c is 7
