Java Shift Operator Examples

The following program is a simple example that demonstrates the bitwise operators. Copy and paste the following Java program into Test.java file and compile and run this program −

Example

Online Demo

public class Test {
   public static void main(String args[]) {

      int a = 60;/* 60 = 0011 1100 */
      int b = 13;/* 13 = 0000 1101 */
      int c = 0;

      c = a & b;        /* 12 = 0000 1100 */
      System.out.println("a & b = " + c );

      c = a | b;        /* 61 = 0011 1101 */
      System.out.println("a | b = " + c );

      c = a ^ b;        /* 49 = 0011 0001 */
      System.out.println("a ^ b = " + c );

      c = ~a;           /*-61 = 1100 0011 */
      System.out.println("~a = " + c );

      c = a << 2;       /* 240 = 1111 0000 */
      System.out.println("a << 2 = " + c );

      c = a >> 2;       /* 15 = 1111 */
      System.out.println("a >> 2  = " + c );

      c = a >>> 2;      /* 15 = 0000 1111 */
      System.out.println("a >>> 2 = " + c );
   }
}

Output

This will produce the following result −

a & b = 12
a | b = 61
a ^ b = 49
~a = -61
a << 2 = 240
a >> 2  = 15
a >>> 2 = 15
