At the bit level, operations are carried out using a bitwise operator. They translate our input values into binary format, process them using the appropriate operator, and output the results.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
int main()
{
    int a = 13; //1101
    int b = 5;  //101
    cout << "The value of a & b is " << (a & b) << endl;
    cout << "The value of a | b is " << (a | b) << endl;
    cout << "The value of a ^ b is " << (a ^ b) << endl;
    cout << "The value of ~a is " << (~a) << endl;
    cout << "The value of a >> 2 is " << (a >> 2) << endl;
    cout << "The value of a << 2 is " << (a << 2) << endl;
}

Output:

The value of a & b is 5
The value of a | b is 13
The value of a ^ b is 8
The value of ~a is -14
The value of a >> 2 is 3
The value of a << 2 is 52

Assignment Operators

Values are assigned using assignment operators. They will be incorporated into nearly every programme we create.

int a = 0;
int b = 1;

Inherent Operator Priority and Associativity

Operator priority

It assists us in solving an equation by allowing us to distinguish which operator comes before another. Think about the phrase a+b*c. Given that the precedence of the multiplication operator is higher than the precedence of the addition operator, multiplication between a and b will now be completed before the addition operation.

Associativity of operators

When two or more operators with the same precedence are combined in an expression, it aids in solving the expression. It aids in determining whether to begin solving the expression comprising operators with the same precedence from the left to the right or vice versa.
