How bit-wise operators work in Java?

Welcome to another tutorial on the "How to code in Java" tutorial series. In the previous tutorial, I write about the relational, shorthand and logical operators in programming. In this tutorial, I'll continue with another type of important operator in programming. That is the bitwise operators. One thing that I would recommend you doing first before reading this tutorial is to understand the basic of the binary number system.

What is relational, shorthand and logical operators in Java?

In the last tutorial, you've learned how to do math in Java (using arithmetic operators). Now, in this tutorial, you'll learn about relational, shorthand and logical operators. Since this tutorial is part of the "How to code in Java" tutorial series, I'll be using Java to demonstrate the operator's functionality. Most of the programming language use the same operators for these operations; therefore, you can implement the knowledge that you've gotten here with another programming language.
