Bitwise Operators: Perform below operations using Bitwise Operators

To get the value of nth bit, you have to do a right shift “n” times and perform bitwise AND with 1.

	nBit = (num >> n) & 1;

To set a value we use bitwise OR operator. To set the nth bit, we left shift 1, n times and do a bitwise OR with the given number.

	(1 << n) | num

To clear the value of nth bit, we perform below operations:

1. Left shift 1 , n times i.e 1 << n

2. Perform bitwise complement of the above result, so that the nth bit will become unset and rest will become set.

3. Perform bitwise AND with the above result with the num.

The above 3 steps can be written as:

    num & (~(1 <<n))

To toggle nth bit we perform below steps:

1. Left shift 1, n times.

2. Perform XOR with the above result and with the number. i.e num ^ (1 << n)

To get the total number of bits, right shift by one, till the element is null.
