Kotlin doesn't have operators for the bitwise manipulation of integers. Bitwise operations in Kotlin are done with functions. The following table shows all bitwise manipulation functions:
|
Function |
Operation |
|
shl(bits) |
signed shift left (<< in Java) |
|
shr(bits) |
signed shift right (>> in Java) |
|
ushr(bits) |
unsigned shift right(>>> in Java) |
|
and(bits) |
bitwise and ( & in Java) |
|
or(bits) |
bitwise or ( | in Java) |
|
xor(bits) |
bitwise xor (^ in Java) |
|
inv() |
bitwise inversion |
These are infix functions so we can call them without parentheses. This is how you'd shift by one bit to the right:
val n = 8 shr 1
