BRIEF REVIEW OF BITWISE LOGICAL OPERATIONS
AND
The logical AND operation compares 2 bits and if they are both “1”, then the result is “1”, otherwise, the result is “0”.
| 0 | 1 |
0 | 0 | 0 |
1 | 0 | 1 |
OR
The logical OR operation compares 2 bits and if either or both bits are “1”, then the result is “1”, otherwise, the result is “0”.
| 0 | 1 |
0 | 0 | 1 |
1 | 1 | 1 |
XOR
The logical XOR (exclusive OR) operation compares 2 bits and if exactly one of them is a “1”, then the result is “1”, otherwise the result is “0”.
| 0 | 1 |
0 | 0 | 1 |
1 | 1 | 0 |
NOT
The logical NOT operation simply changes the value of a single bit. If it is a “1”, the result is “0”, if it is a “0”, the result is “1”. This operation is carried out on a single bit.
