What is a bitwise operation?

A bitwise operation performs logical operations on individual bits of binary numbers. Common bitwise operations include AND, OR, XOR, and NOT.

What is the difference between AND, OR, and XOR?

AND returns 1 only when both bits are 1. OR returns 0 only when both bits are 0. XOR returns 1 when bits are different.

When should I use NOT operation?

NOT operation inverts all bits (0 becomes 1, 1 becomes 0). It is commonly used for bitwise complement and creating masks.

Can I use this calculator for programming?

Yes, this calculator is perfect for understanding and verifying bitwise operations used in programming languages like C, Java, Python, and JavaScript.
