Bitwise Operation Calculator

Perform bitwise operations on integers. Enter values in decimal, hexadecimal, octal, or binary and view results across all bases with bit-level visualization.

Bit Width
Operation
Input Base
Operand A
Enter a decimal integer (0 – 255)
Operand B
Enter a decimal integer (0 – 255)
The result updates as you type.

How It Works

Bitwise operations act on individual bits of integer values. They are fundamental to low-level programming, networking, cryptography, and hardware design.

Operation Symbol Description Example (8-bit)
AND&1 only when both bits are 110101010 & 01010101 = 00000000
OR|1 when either bit is 110100000 | 00001010 = 10101010
XOR^1 when bits differ11110000 ^ 00001111 = 11111111
NOT~Inverts every bit~10101010 = 01010101
Left Shift<<Shifts bits left, fills with 000000011 << 2 = 00001100
Right Shift>>Shifts bits right, fills with 011000000 >> 3 = 00011000

Common Uses

  • Masking — use AND to extract specific bits (e.g., value & 0x0F gets the low nibble)
  • Setting bits — use OR to set bits without affecting others (e.g., flags | 0x04)
  • Toggling bits — use XOR to flip specific bits (e.g., value ^ mask)
  • Clearing bits — use AND with inverted mask (e.g., flags & ~0x04)
  • Multiplication/division by powers of 2 — left/right shift (e.g., x << 3 is x × 8)
