bitwise shift operator in python code example
Example 1: python bitwise operators
x << y
Returns x with the bits shifted to the left by y places (and new bits on the right-hand-side are zeros). This is the same as multiplying x by 2**y.
x >> y
Returns x with the bits shifted to the right by y places. This is the same as //'ing x by 2**y.
x & y
Does a "bitwise and". Each bit of the output is 1 if the corresponding bit of x AND of y is 1, otherwise it's 0.
x | y
Does a "bitwise or". Each bit of the output is 0 if the corresponding bit of x AND of y is 0, otherwise it's 1.
~ x
Returns the complement of x - the number you get by switching each 1 for a 0 and each 0 for a 1. This is the same as -x - 1.
x ^ y
Does a "bitwise exclusive or". Each bit of the output is the same as the corresponding bit in x if that bit in y is 0, and it's the complement of the bit in x if that bit in y is 1.
Example 2: bitwise operators python
OPERATOR DESCRIPTION SYNTAX
& Bitwise AND x & y
| Bitwise OR x | y
~ Bitwise NOT ~x
^ Bitwise XOR x ^ y
>> Bitwise right shift x>>
<< Bitwise left shift x<<
Example 3: write a program to input a number and display its double and half values using shift operator in python
print("Hi \nThis is a basic calculator \nwhich doubles or divides into half the value entered in it")
a = int(input("pls enter your number:\n"))
b = a << 1
c = a >> 1
print("number:", a, "\ndouble:", b, "\nhalf:", c)
