Basic Operations

Bitwise And: &

int bitmask = 0x000F;
int val = 0x2222;

System.out.println(val & bitmask);
// 2

Bitwise exclusive OR: ^

Bitwise inclusive OR: |

Unary bitwise complement: ~

System.out.println(~256);
// -257

Signed left shift: <<

Signed right shift: >>

Unsigned right shift: >>>
