Bitwise Operators

Explore how JavaScript handles bitwise operators by converting numbers to 32-bit integers and back to 64-bit, following the IEEE-754 standard. Understand the behavior of operators like AND, OR, XOR, NOT, and bit shifts. This lesson helps you grasp essential bit manipulation techniques in JavaScript for better coding control.

We'll cover the following...

Most programming languages define bitwise operators to allow expressions to play with bits. These operators generally use signed and unsigned integer numbers.


JavaScript is a bit different.


If any operands of the bitwise operators are not integer numbers, they are first converted into 32-bit integers, and after the operation the result is converted back into a ...
