Bitwise AND, OR, and XOR Operators

The AND (&), OR (|), and XOR (^) operators generate new values with the bit pattern composed from its two operands:

For each bit position in the result of the bitwise AND operator (the & operator) the bit is 1 if both operands contain 1; otherwise, the result is 0. For the OR (inclusive or) operator (the | operator), the bit is 1 if either or both operands contain 1; otherwise, the result is 0. For the XOR (exclusive or) operator (the ^ operator), the bit is 1 if either but not both operands contain 1; otherwise, the result is 0.

Image Warning

It is a common error to confuse the bitwise and logical operators (§ 4.3, p. 141). For example to confuse the bitwise & with the logical &&, the bitwise | with the logical ||, and the bitwise ~ and the logical !).
