Understanding Bitwise Operations in Computer Engineering
Bitwise operations manipulate numbers directly at the bit level. AND (&) outputs 1 only when both bits are 1 (used for bit masking). OR (|) outputs 1 if either bit is 1. XOR (^) yields 1 when bits differ (the backbone of cryptography and checksums). Bit shifts multiply or divide values by powers of two in single-cycle CPU instructions.
