Bitwise Operators with examples

      Bitwise operator programming             exercises and solutions in C

     Data in the memory (RAM) is organized as a sequence of bytes. Each byte is a group of eight consecutive bits. Bitwise operators are useful when we need to perform actions on bits of the data.

C supports six bitwise operators.

1. Bitwise AND operator &
2. Bitwise OR operator |
3. Bitwise XOR operator ^
4. Bitwise complement operator ~
5. Bitwise left shift operator <<
6. Bitwise right shift operator >>

This exercises focuses on mastering bitwise operators. After this exercise you will surely gain some confidence using bitwise operators.
