# Bitwise operators
|
|
|
|
In addition to mathematical, logical and comparison operators, there are
|
|
_bitwise operators_. These operators execute conditions based on the actual bits
|
|
of a value rather than the values that the bits are encoded to represent.
|
|
|
|
Bitwise operators are typically represented with single characters of existing
|
|
operators, e.g. `&` instead of `&&`:
|
|
|
|
| Bitwise operation | Operator |
|
|
| ----------------- | ------------- |
|
|
| AND | `&` |
|
|
| OR | (single pipe) |
|
|
| NOT | `~` |
|
|
|
|
An example of using the `&` operator:
|
|
|
|
```py
|
|
x =5
|
|
y = 3
|
|
```
