Python Bitwise Operators Example

Example:

#!/usr/bin/python

a = 60 # 60 = 0011 1100
b = 13 # 13 = 0000 1101
c = 0

c = a & b; # 12 = 0000 1100
print “Line 1 – Value of c is “, c

c = a | b; # 61 = 0011 1101
print “Line 2 – Value of c is “, c

c = a ^ b; # 49 = 0011 0001
print “Line 3 – Value of c is “, c

c = ~a; # -61 = 1100 0011
print “Line 4 – Value of c is “, c

c = a << 2; # 240 = 1111 0000
print “Line 5 – Value of c is “, c

c = a >> 2; # 15 = 0000 1111
print “Line 6 – Value of c is “, c

Output:

Line 1 – Value of c is 12
Line 2 – Value of c is 61
Line 3 – Value of c is 49
Line 4 – Value of c is -61
Line 5 – Value of c is 240
Line 6 – Value of c is 15
