Operator

Description

&

The bitwise AND operator compares a bit of the first operand with the corresponding bit of the second operand. If both the bits are 1, the resulting bit is set at 1. If not, the resulting bit is set at 0.

The bitwise OR operator compares a bit of the first operand with the corresponding bit of the second operand. If one of both the bits is 1, the resulting bit is set at 1. If not, the resulting bit is set at 0.
