PYTHON_101 | PYTHON COMPARISON OPERATORS
| Operator | Symbol | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Binary AND | & |
Operator copies a bit to the result if it exists in both operands | (a & b) (means 0000 1100) |
| Binary OR | | |
It copies a bit if it exists in either operand. | (a | b) = 61 (means 0011 1101) |
| Binary XOR | ^ |
It copies the bit if it is set in one operand but not both. | (a ^ b) = 49 (means 0011 0001) |
| Binary Ones Complement | ~ |
It is unary and has the effect of ‘flipping’ bits. | (~a ) = -61 (means 1100 0011 in 2’s complement form due to a signed binary number. |
| Binary Left Shift | << |
The left operands value is moved left by the number of bits specified by the right operand. | a << 2 = 240 (means 1111 0000) |
| Binary Right Shift | >> |
The left operands value is moved right by the number of bits specified by the right operand. | a >> 2 = 15 (means 0000 1111) |
