Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
JavaScript Bitwise Operators
Below is the example of the JavaScript Bitwise Operators.
Example:
<script> var a = 4; var b = 1; document.write("A & B = " + (a & b) + '<br>'); document.write("A | B = " + (a | b) + '<br>'); document.write("~A = " + (~a) + '<br>'); </script> |
Output:
A & B = 0 A | B = 5 ~A = -5
Like C, C++, Java, Python, and various other languages, JavaScript also supports bit-wise operations. In JavaScript, a number is stored as a 64-bit floating-point number but the bit-wise operation is performed on a 32-bit binary number i.e. to perform a bit-operation JavaScript converts the number into a 32-bit binary number (signed) and perform the operation and convert back the result to a 64-bit number.
Below are few bit-wise logical operators used in JavaScript.
| A | B | OUTPUT ( A & B ) |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 |
| 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
| A | B | OUTPUT ( A | B ) |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
| A | B | OUTPUT ( A ^ B ) |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 0 |
| A | OUTPUT ( ~A ) |
|---|---|
| 0 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 |
Below are few bit-wise shift operators used in JavaScript.
- Left Shift ( << ): Its a binary operator i.e. it accepts two operand. The first operator specifies the number and the second operator specifies the number of bits to shift. Each bits are shifted towards left and 0 bits are added from the right. The excess bits from the left are discarded.
A 6 ( 00000000000000000000000000000110 ) B 1 ( 00000000000000000000000000000001 ) OUTPUT ( A << B ) 12 ( 00000000000000000000000000001100 ) - Sign Propagating Right Shift ( >> ) : Its a binary operator i.e. it accepts two operand. The first operand specifies the number and the second operand specifies the number of bits to shift. Each bit is shifted towards the right, the overflowing bits are discarded. This is Sign Propagating as the bits which are added from the left depends upon the sign of the number (i.e. 0 if positive and 1 if negative )
A 6 ( 00000000000000000000000000000110 ) B 1 ( 00000000000000000000000000000001 ) OUTPUT ( A >> B ) 3 ( 00000000000000000000000000000011 ) - Zero fill Right Shift ( >>> ) : Its a binary operator i.e. it accepts two operand. The first operand specifies the number and the second operand specifies the number of bits to shift. Each bits is shifted towards right, the overflowing bits are discarded. 0 bit is added from the left so its zero fill right shift.
A 6 ( 00000000000000000000000000000110 ) B 1 ( 00000000000000000000000000000001 ) OUTPUT ( A >>> B ) 3 ( 00000000000000000000000000000011 ) Below is the implementation of the above described operators.
<script>vara = 6;varb = 1;// AND Operationdocument.write("A & B = "+ (a & b) +'<br>');// OR operationdocument.write("A | B = "+ (a | b) +'<br>');// NOT operationdocument.write("~A = "+ (~a) +'<br>');// Sign Propagating Right Shiftdocument.write("A >> B = "+ (a >> b) +'<br>');// Zero Fill Right Shiftdocument.write("A >>> B = "+ (a >>> b) +'<br>');// Left Shiftdocument.write("A << B = "+ (a << b) +'<br>');</script>Output:
A & B = 0 A | B = 7 ~A = -7 A >> B = 3 A >>> B = 3 A << B = 12
