Bitwise Calculator

This Bitwise Calculator allows users to perform bitwise operations (AND, OR, XOR, NOT, Left Shift, Right Shift) on two numbers, providing results in decimal, binary, and hexadecimal formats.

Using the Bitwise Calculator

Step 1: Input the First Number

Begin by entering the first number in the calculator. The input field labeled First Number is where you’ll add the number you wish to apply the bitwise operation to. Make sure the number you enter is within the range of -2147483648 to 2147483647, as this is necessary for the calculation to be valid. This field is required to proceed with further calculations.

Step 2: Select the Bitwise Operation

Next, choose the bitwise operation you want to perform from the Bitwise Operation dropdown menu. The available operations are:

  • AND (&): Performs a bitwise AND operation.
  • OR (|): Performs a bitwise OR operation.
  • XOR (^): Performs a bitwise XOR operation.
  • NOT (~): Performs a bitwise NOT operation. Note that this operation only requires the first number.
  • Left Shift (<<): Performs a left shift operation.
  • Right Shift (>>): Performs a right shift operation.

This selection is mandatory for the calculation, so ensure you pick an option to continue.

Step 3: Input the Second Number (if necessary)

If the operation you selected requires a second number (all except NOT), proceed to enter it in the field labeled Second Number. Similar to the first number, this has to fall within the range of -2147483648 to 2147483647. Ensure that this field is filled when required for a successful computation.

Step 4: View the Results

Once the input fields are filled and the operation is selected, the calculator will automatically compute and display the results in three different formats:

  • Decimal Result: This will show the result of your operation as a decimal number.
  • Binary Result: This will display the binary equivalent of the decimal result, prefixed with ‘0b’ for clarity.
  • Hexadecimal Result: This provides the hexadecimal representation of the result, preceded by ‘0x’.

All results are calculated from the inputs you’ve entered, and they update automatically as you modify your inputs or selection.

That’s it! Using this calculator, you can efficiently perform various bitwise operations and obtain the results in different numeric systems.
