In this example, we will show you how to use bitwise operators in Go with an example.
Bitwise operators work with bits of a binary number.
Go bitwise operators
Try the following example to understand all the bitwise operators available in Go programming language −
package main
import "fmt"
func main() {
var a uint = 60 /* 60 = 0011 1100 */
var b uint = 13 /* 13 = 0000 1101 */
var c uint = 0
c = a & b /* 12 = 0000 1100 */
fmt.Printf("Line 1 - Value of c is %d\n", c )
c = a | b /* 61 = 0011 1101 */
fmt.Printf("Line 2 - Value of c is %d\n", c )
c = a ^ b /* 49 = 0011 0001 */
fmt.Printf("Line 3 - Value of c is %d\n", c )
c = a << 2 /* 240 = 1111 0000 */
fmt.Printf("Line 4 - Value of c is %d\n", c )
c = a >> 2 /* 15 = 0000 1111 */
fmt.Printf("Line 5 - Value of c is %d\n", c )
}
Output:
Line 1 - Value of c is 12 Line 2 - Value of c is 61 Line 3 - Value of c is 49 Line 4 - Value of c is 240 Line 5 - Value of c is 15
