By SCThe Boolean operators in python or bitwise operators in python perform operation on bits(0,1).
Boolean operators in python
- AND Operator
- OR Operator
- NOT Operator
- XOR Operator
- Shift Left Operator
- Shift Right Operator
AND Operator
It performs multiplication on bits and return output as shown in below table. It is represented as “&” symbol in python.
0 and 0
0 & 0
Output: 0| 1st Operand | 2nd Operand | AND(Output) |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 |
| 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
OR Operator
It performs addition on bits and return output as shown in below table.It is represented by “|” symbol in python.
0 or 1
0 | 1
Output:
1| Operand 1 | Operand 2 | OR(Output) |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
NOT Operator
It reverses the bit or it will change 0 to 1 or 1 to 0.
not 0
Output True
not 1
Output FalseXOR Operator
It returns output as per below table. It is represented by” ^”.
1 ^ 1
Output:
0| Operand 1 | Operand 2 | XOR(Output) |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 1 | 1 | 0 |
Shift Left Operator
It shifts the bit left by given condition. It is represented as “<<” symbol in python.a has been shifted left by b(one bit) position.
a=1011
b=0001
a<<b
Output:
10110Shift Right Operator
It shifts the bit right by given condition. It is represented as “>>” symbol in python.a has been shifted right by b(one bit) position.
a=1011
b=0001
a>>b
Output:
0101
