Java Bitwise Operators

Overview

In this tutorial, we will learn about Java Bitwise Operators. Bitwise logical operators perform on the individual bits (0 and 1 )of their operands.

Bitwise Operators

Java has a number of operators for working with the individual bits within a value.
The table lists the bitwise operators:

 

Operator Description
&                The Bitwise AND. Bitwise AND operator produces 1 if the bits in both the operands are 1; otherwise, it produces zero
| The Bitwise OR. Bitwise OR operator produces 1 if one or both of the bits in its operands are 1, and produces 0 if both of the corresponding bits are 0
^ The Bitwise Exclusive OR(XOR). The XOR operator produces 1 where the bits in its operands are different and produces 0 if they are the same
~

 

 Bitwise complement. Bitwise complement operator flips the bits of the operand i.e. what was a 1 bit will now be 0, and vice versa.

Code Example

The code listing is the example of the bitwise logical operators, such as |,^, and &.

public class BitwiseOperatorExample
{
 public static void main(String args[])
 {
 //Declare two variables
 int x =3;
 int y =6;
 System.out.println("x=: " + x);
 System.out.println("y=: " + y);
 // Bitwise AND operation
 System.out.println("x&y is:= " + (x & y));
 // Bitwise OR operation
 System.out.println("x|y is:= " + (x | y)); 
 // Bitwise XOR operation
 System.out.println("x^y is:= " + (x ^ y));
 }
}

Java Bitwise Operators

Program Output

x=: 3
y=: 6
x&y is:= 2
x|y is:= 7
x^y is:= 5
