& (bitwise and): a=5, b=3 a&b: 0101 (5) 0011 (3) ----- 0001 so a&b = 1 ~(bitwise compliment) a = 00110011 ~a= 11001100 <<(left shift) a = 0000 1110 if you use a<<2, the result is: 0011 1000 >>(right shift) a = 0000 1110 a>>1: 0000 0111 >>> (zero fill right shift) 10111010 >>> 4 = 00001011 if the number is positive, there is no difference between >> and >>>. But if negative, 10111010 >> 4 = 11111011 because the first bit was 1 and fills all of new places with 1

~ 1000 = 0111 the NOT (~) operator will change 1 to 0 and 0 to 1 but it works with too many bits(32 i think :/ ) 5 = 00000000000000000000000000000101 ~5 = -6 the first bit (left) sets the sign (-+)
