This program is based out of @Jeremy's above solution. If someone wish to quickly play around.
public class BitwiseOperations {
public static void main(String args[]) {
setABit(0, 4); // set the 4th bit, 0000 -> 1000 [8]
clearABit(16, 5); // clear the 5th bit, 10000 -> 00000 [0]
toggleABit(8, 4); // toggle the 4th bit, 1000 -> 0000 [0]
checkABit(8,4); // check the 4th bit 1000 -> true
}
public static void setABit(int input, int n) {
input = input | ( 1 << n-1);
System.out.println(input);
}
public static void clearABit(int input, int n) {
input = input & ~(1 << n-1);
System.out.println(input);
}
public static void toggleABit(int input, int n) {
input = input ^ (1 << n-1);
System.out.println(input);
}
public static void checkABit(int input, int n) {
boolean isSet = ((input >> n-1) & 1) == 1;
System.out.println(isSet);
}
}
Output :
8
0
0
true
