Bitwise Operators

Python programming provide the following Bitwise Operators.

 

Bitwise Operators are similar to logical operator and the only difference is that they work on a smaller scale – on binary representation of data. Bitwise operator are used to change individual bites in an operand.

There are following types of operators:

Let us learn all these types of bitwise operators one by one

• The Bitwise AND (&) Operator

when its operands are numbers, the & operations performs the bitwise AND functions on each parallel pair of bits in each operand. The AND functions set the resulting bit to 1 of if the corresponding bit in both operands is 1, as shown in the following table.

 

• The Bitwise inclusive OR (|) Operator

When both of its operands are number, the | operator performs the inclusive OR operation. Inclusive OR means that if either of the two bits is 1, the result is 1. The following table shows the results of inclusive OR operations.

 

 

• The Bitwise exclusive XOR (^) operator

Exclusive OR means that if the two-operand bit are different, the result is 1; otherwise, the result is 0. The following table shows the results of an exclusive OR operations

• The Bitwise Complement (~) operator

the complement operator inverts the  value of each bit of the operand : if the operand bit is 1 the result is 0 and if the operand bit is 0 the result is 1.

Why Bitwise Operators in Python?

In this tutorial, we have learnt about Bitwise Operators in python for CBSE class 11 & 12 and its related concepts according to CBSE syllabus and. This tutorial is useful for Central Board of secondary education (CBSE) student of class 11^{th and} 12^th  , who opted computer science (Code 083) as an optional subject. This topic is also very important to start learning python programing language for beginners of class 11th and 12th.
