Bitwise Calculator Introduction
The bitwise calculator is a practical tool designed for developers, computer science students, and digital electronics engineers to perform various bitwise operations and view real-time results in different number bases.
It provides:
1. Multi-base Support
Input Support: Binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal input
Output Display: Simultaneously displays results in binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal formats
Automatic Conversion: Automatically handles conversions between different bases without manual calculation
2. Bitwise Operations
Bitwise AND (AND): Performs a logical AND operation on each bit of two numbers
Bitwise OR (OR): Performs a logical OR operation on each bit of two numbers
Bitwise XOR (XOR): Performs a logical XOR operation on each bit of two numbers
How to Use the Bitwise Calculator
- Enter Numbers: Type your number into the input box and select its base from the dropdown menu on the right (binary/octal/decimal/hexadecimal)
- Select Operation: Choose the desired bitwise operation from the "Operation" dropdown menu: Bitwise AND (AND), Bitwise OR (OR), or Bitwise XOR (XOR)
- Execute Calculation: Click the "Calculate" button to display the result in four text boxes representing different bases
Usage Tips and Notes
Input Format Requirements:
Binary: Contains only 0 and 1 (e.g., 1010)
Octal: Contains only digits 0-7 (e.g., 775)
Decimal: Contains only digits 0-9 (e.g., 123)
Hexadecimal: Contains digits 0-9 and letters A-F (case-insensitive) (e.g., 1A3f)
Negative Number Handling:
This tool primarily handles unsigned integers.
For negative numbers, it is recommended to input them in two's complement form.
Large Number Limitations:
JavaScript represents all numbers using 64-bit floating-point format.
However, bitwise operations convert operands into 32-bit signed integers.
