While doing bitwise operation, when we do 1&0, we get 0, means the bit is off. When we do 1&1, this proves that the bit is on.

I don't understand, why always & operator use. Truth table of | or operator also provides logical relation then why always &?

Relation operator is used to make an expression to compound one whereas bitwise and is used to operate on bits for faster access.

In case & and | both options will be given in question. What will answer for this question?please give my answer.

I think that the right answer is D.

For eg:

If I write if(a) then it is 1.

If I write if(!a) then it is 0.

Why we can't use the OR (|) operator instead of AND (&) for checking whether the bit is on or off?

&& is a relational operator it compare two values.

Whereas & is logical operator.

@Pritam & @Guru Sai.

There is no option of OR(|) in the given question.

How it be? Explain.

Shritama said:   1 decade ago
x & 1 = x.
x | 0 = x.

Here no | option.

Only & option.

So answer B.
