Bitwise operators are used in order to modify a bit or bits of any given byte.
So whenever you want to modify less than a byte you can do it using this technique.
Using the bitwise operators you can save memory by packing multiple data items in a single byte.
Do not confuse the boolean operators AND(&&) OR(||) and NOT(!) with the bitwise operators AND(&) OR(|) NOT(~).
Let's start with the four most common bitwise operations : AND , OR , XOR and NOT.
