Bitwise Operators

[Seema]

hi

We have Bitwise & Shift operators in java. In which type of programs / software
applications do we need to program using these ?

Thanx a lot

Hi Seema,

Bitwise and shift operators find their uses mostly in scientific applications
which use a lot of number crunching. Calculators which manipulate multiple
number systems(decimal, binary, octal, hexadecimal...) also use these functions.
There are many more scenarios in which you can use them.
