Address operator, or bitwise AND. As a unary operator, this provides the address of a variable:

int x;

z = &x; // z gets the address of x

As a binary operator, this performs the bitwise AND of two integer (char, int, or long) values.

int i = 0xFFF0;

int j = 0x0FFF;

z = i & j; // z gets 0x0FF0

Bitwise exclusive OR. A binary operator, this performs the bitwise XOR of two integer (8-bit, 16-bit or

32-bit) values.

int i = 0xFFF0;

int j = 0x0FFF;

z = i ^ j; // z gets 0xF00F

Bitwise inclusive OR. A binary operator, this performs the bitwise OR of two integer (8-bit, 16-bit or 32-

bit) values.

int i = 0xFF00;

int j = 0x0FF0;

z = i | j; // z gets 0xFFF0

Bitwise complement. This is a unary operator. Bits in a char, int, or long value are inverted:

int switches;

switches = 0xFFF0;

j = ~switches; // j becomes 0x000F
