Bitwise, Binary Shift, and Miscellaneous Operators

You will explore the bitwise and binary shift operators in C#. These operators let you manipulate individual bits within numbers, enabling various binary-level operations. You will see how they work through practical examples and learn how binary shift operations can offer computational advantages. Let's begin by setting up the project and exploring the basic concepts behind these operators.

Exploring bitwise and binary shift operators

Bitwise operators affect the bits in a number. Binary shift operators can perform some common arithmetic calculations much faster than traditional operators, for example, any multiplication by a factor of 2.
