Bitwise Operators
Summary
The problem involves using bitwise operators to manipulate binary numbers. The key concept is understanding how bitwise operations work and applying them to solve a specific problem.
Detailed Explanation
Bitwise operators are used to perform operations on each bit of a binary number. They are useful when dealing with binary data or performing bitwise operations in programming.
Here's a step-by-step breakdown of the solution:
- Initialize two variables
aandbas input integers. - Use bitwise AND (
&) to find the bits that are set in bothaandb. This operation returns a value where each bit is set if the corresponding bits inaandbare set. - Use bitwise OR (
|) to find the bits that are set in eitheraorb. This operation returns a value where each bit is set if the corresponding bits inaorbare set. - Use bitwise XOR (
^) to find the bits that are different inaandb. This operation returns a value where each bit is set if the corresponding bits inaandbare different.
The time complexity of this solution is O(1) as we're performing constant-time operations. The space complexity is also O(1) as we're not using any extra space.

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int a = 5; // 00000101
int b = 3; // 00000011
System.out.println("Bitwise AND: " + (a & b)); // 00000001
System.out.println("Bitwise OR: " + (a | b)); // 00000111
System.out.println("Bitwise XOR: " + (a ^ b)); // 00000110
