About the Bitwise Calculator
The bitwise calculator is a practical tool designed for developers, computer science students, and digital electronics engineers. It performs bitwise operations and shows the results in different bases in real time.
Multiple Base Support
- Input support: binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal input.
- Output display: shows results in binary, octal, decimal, and hexadecimal simultaneously.
- Automatic conversion: handles conversions between bases automatically, no manual calculation needed.
Bitwise Operations
- AND: performs a logical AND on each bit of the two numbers.
- OR: performs a logical OR on each bit of the two numbers.
- XOR: performs a logical exclusive OR on each bit of the two numbers.
How to Use the Bitwise Calculator?
- Enter your number in the text box and select its base from the dropdown on the right (binary/octal/decimal/hexadecimal).
- Select the desired bitwise operation from the "Operation" dropdown (AND, OR, XOR).
- Click the "Calculate" button. The results appear in the four base-specific text boxes.
Tips and Notes
- Input format: binary contains only 0s and 1s (e.g., 1010); octal contains only 0-7 (e.g., 775); decimal contains only 0-9 (e.g., 123); hexadecimal contains 0-9 and A-F (case-insensitive, e.g., 1A3f).
- Negative numbers: the tool currently handles unsigned integers; for negative numbers, use their two\'s complement form.
- Large numbers: JavaScript uses 64-bit floating point for all numbers, but bitwise operations convert the operands to 32-bit signed integers.
