copied!<p>These are the bitwise operators, all supported in JavaScript:</p> <ul> <li><p><code>op1 & op2</code> -- The <code>AND</code> operator compares two bits and generates a result of 1 if both bits are 1; otherwise, it returns 0.</p></li> <li><p><code>op1 | op2</code> -- The <code>OR</code> operator compares two bits and generates a result of 1 if the bits are complementary; otherwise, it returns 0.</p></li> <li><p><code>op1^ op2</code> -- The <code>EXCLUSIVE-OR</code> operator compares two bits and returns 1 if either of the bits are 1 and it gives 0 if both bits are 0 or 1.</p></li> <li><p><code>~op1</code> -- The C<code>OMPLEMENT</code> operator is used to invert all of the bits of the operand.</p></li> <li><p><code>op1 << op2</code> -- The <code>SHIFT LEFT</code> operator moves the bits to the left, discards the far left bit, and assigns the rightmost bit a value of 0. Each move to the left effectively multiplies op1 by 2.</p></li> <li><p><code>op1 >> op2</code> -- <code>The SHIFT RIGHT</code> operator moves the bits to the right, discards the far right bit, and assigns the leftmost bit a value of 0. Each move to the right effectively divides op1 in half. The left-most sign bit is preserved.</p></li> <li><p><code>op1 >>> op2</code> -- <code>The SHIFT RIGHT</code> - <code>ZERO FILL</code> operator moves the bits to the right, discards the far right bit, and assigns the leftmost bit a value of 0. Each move to the right effectively divides op1 in half. The left-most sign bit is discarded.</p></li> </ul>
