Comparison Logical and Bitwise Operator ( Java Part - 4 )

Java Comparison Operators

Comparison operators are used to compare two values:

Operator	Name	Example	Try it
==	Equal to	x == y	Try it »
!=	Not equal	x != y	Try it »
>	Greater than	x > y	Try it »
<	Less than	x < y	Try it »
>=	Greater than or equal to	x >= y	Try it »
<=	Less than or equal to	x <= y	Try it »

Java Logical Operators

Logical operators are used to determine the logic between variables or values:

Operator	Name	Description	Example	Try it
&&	Logical and	Returns true if both statements are true	x < 5 &&  x < 10	Try it »
||	Logical or	Returns true if one of the statements is true	x < 5 || x < 4	Try it »
!	Logical not	Reverse the result, returns false if the result is true	!(x < 5 && x < 10)	Try it »

Java Bitwise Operators

Bitwise operators are used to perform binary logic with the bits of an integer or long integer.

Operator	Description	Example	Same as	Result	Decimal
&	AND - Sets each bit to 1 if both bits are 1	5 & 1	0101 & 0001	0001	1
|	OR - Sets each bit to 1 if any of the two bits is 1	5 | 1	0101 | 0001	0101	5
~	NOT - Inverts all the bits	~ 5	~0101	1010	10
^	XOR - Sets each bit to 1 if only one of the two bits is 1	5 ^ 1	0101 ^ 0001	0100	4
<<	Zero-fill left shift - Shift left by pushing zeroes in from the right and letting the leftmost bits fall off	9 << 1	1001 << 1	0010	2
>>	Signed right shift - Shift right by pushing copies of the leftmost bit in from the left and letting the rightmost bits fall off	9 >> 1	1001 >> 1	1100	12
>>>	Zero-fill right shift - Shift right by pushing zeroes in from the left and letting the rightmost bits fall off	9 >>> 1	1001 >>> 1	0100	4
