D Programming - Bitwise Operators
The Bitwise operators supported by D language are listed in the following table. Assume variable A holds 60 and variable B holds 13, then −
| Operator | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| & | Binary AND Operator copies a bit to the result if it exists in both operands. | (A & B) will give 12, Means 0000 1100. |
| | | Binary OR Operator copies a bit if it exists in either operand. | (A | B) gives 61. Means 0011 1101. |
| ^ | Binary XOR Operator copies the bit if it is set in one operand but not both. | (A ^ B) gives 49. Means 0011 0001 |
| ~ | Binary Ones Complement Operator is unary and has the effect of 'flipping' bits. | (~A ) gives -61. Means 1100 0011 in 2's complement form. |
| << | Binary Left Shift Operator. The left operands value is moved left by the number of bits specified by the right operand. | A << 2 give 240. Means 1111 0000 |
| >> | Binary Right Shift Operator. The left operands value is moved right by the number of bits specified by the right operand. | A >> 2 give 15. Means 0000 1111. |
Example
Try the following example to understand all the bitwise operators available in D programming language −
import std.stdio;
int main(string[] args) {
uint a = 60; /* 60 = 0011 1100 */
uint b = 13; /* 13 = 0000 1101 */
int c = 0;
c = a & b; /* 12 = 0000 1100 */
writefln("Line 1 - Value of c is %d\n", c );
c = a | b; /* 61 = 0011 1101 */
writefln("Line 2 - Value of c is %d\n", c );
c = a ^ b; /* 49 = 0011 0001 */
writefln("Line 3 - Value of c is %d\n", c );
c = ~a; /*-61 = 1100 0011 */
writefln("Line 4 - Value of c is %d\n", c );
c = a << 2; /* 240 = 1111 0000 */
writefln("Line 5 - Value of c is %d\n", c );
c = a >> 2; /* 15 = 0000 1111 */
writefln("Line 6 - Value of c is %d\n", c );
return 0;
}
When you compile and execute the above program it produces the following result −
Line 1 - Value of c is 12 Line 2 - Value of c is 61 Line 3 - Value of c is 49 Line 4 - Value of c is -61 Line 5 - Value of c is 240 Line 6 - Value of c is 15
